Thank you so much! Yes, I am a product of my experiences, including being homeless. Each day I wake up, I feel grateful for my existence. Please don't get me wrong though about money- it is important! But, I would not trade in my self-worth or my life for money. I would rather be poor and do what I can in this world that does not compromise my self-esteem and worth as a human. I am happier today because I have been through the valleys and now am climbing the mountains for my survival. Life is an adventure. I hope to reach the summit of the mountain and plateau from this point.
