Introduction | A few years ago my life was caught up with way too much serious stuff. I was just about keeping my head above water, almost drowning in what seemed like insurmountable problems at the time. I was feeling old before my time. I was good at compartmentalizing, so I didn't totally crack up, but it was during that period that I discovered something. It came to me that to truly live life to the fullest, a person needs to commit to having fun. So I decided to make that commitment. If something interested me or sounded intriguing, I would jump in with both feet, no holds barred.... and so far it's worked. I love my life... and can truly say, I have absolutely “no regrets”. |
