I woke up at the age of 40 and never looked back. My only regret is not doing this sooner as I lived a dark existence for 35 years that lead me down a dark path with a gun in my hand. After I woke up, decided that I was going to live my life on MY terms, a whole new world opened up. I am now living my best life, with my stutter. I no longer care what people think of it. My motto is 'Hurt People Hurt People'. If you feel that you need to make fun of me to feel good about yourself then you have demons that you need to work out......I know I am FRICKIN AWESOME. I have a master's degree, celebrated 27 years of marriage, have 1 son and I'm a National Trainer (my 9 to 5). Don't let anything hold you back. Enjoy life. You never know how much time you have left, live it to the fullest.
