Transparency In Turbulence? You’ve got my attention…

My friend and mentor over the last several months was quick to have me clarify when I told him what I wanted the name of my platform to be. As I kept diving through the year of 2018 riddled with personal obstacles, there was one thing that seemed abundantly clear: I have an unusual gift of seeing things with nearly 20/20 vision, even in the midst of the largest storms my 30 years of living had ever faced.

To that end, I felt that the theme would keep me on track with what commentary I put up on the platform. After all, there are PLENTY of voices online for people to listen to when they feel like it – what makes mine any different?

In the first 3 decades of life, I have experienced feeling wealthy and feeling broke. Established and successful, as well as irrelevant and worthless. Feeling closer to God than ever before, and yet ever so far away. Heartbreak of the puppy love kind, and heartbreak of the this-could-make-you-suicidal kind.

Sure, it might sound like any other 80’s kid mantra… but too many seem content to simply Netflix binge rather than share life’s stories and reflections in hopes that they may one day be of help to someone who can no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is the fruition of hard work in overcoming some of the challenges I can only pray life never throws your way – but perhaps, by hearing some of my experiences, they can aid/ease that pain and present opportunities for clearer understanding.

Happy reading.
