The moment we are born we are influenced by our environment and family.  As we grow older we then become influenced by friends, business associates, co-workers, relationships, and experiences.  In this episode, I go into depth about how I have learned to deal with the hardships of life.  These things did not happen over night and I have honed my skills over time.  You just have to figure out the things that are going to work for you.  I chose to deal with things by writing, excercising, dancing, meditating, praying, and going to therapy.  As I open up to you about the way these methods have saved my life; I hope that you find solace in this as well.  Remember that you are not alone and I am here as your support system.
