"Assisting people direct their lives for years. My adventure began working alongside children with special needs. I worked with the elderly in hospice care, understanding the patience and kindness of a caring heart looking into the great beyond while still wanting peace daily and doing their best to provide it. The developmentally disabled became my friends as I tended to their needs and grew to know them as intelligent beings like you or I who are so often misunderstood. Spent years building bonds between partners and hearing their misunderstandings, repairing that bridge and strengthening their foundation. Assisting the depressed, the traumatized, the anxious, and teaching others to evade manipulation and take care of themselves. Now my adventure takes me abroad. Everyone has the ability to be at peace with their life. Young or old, disabled or traumatized, you or I. We are one."
