6 years ago I was a man who could not get
out of bed in the morning. I could not face another failure.
My bed was safe. A refuge from the world. The only reason
I would get up is to care for my newborn daughter. It was
not always the best care. I often only did the basics –
feed, change, put to sleep. It was all I could give at the
time. My body ached. My mind was confused. I was irritable
and angry. Sometimes when she cried, I would yell at her
to stop. I knew it was wrong. She was only a baby. I couldn’t
control myself. When she began to crawl, I would place her
on the floor beside my bed with some toys. I would try to
sleep – 10:00, 10:30 sometimes 11:00 am. She taught
me about love. She accepted me. She told me she loved me
even when I felt so inadequate. Gradually, she helped me
to become a better person. Now I have two children. Thanks
to my first I am a completely different Dad today. I am
still not perfect…what parent is…but I am always
getting better. I have lots of effective healing tools,
counseling techniques and intuitive talents that I have
acquired as a result of my own experiences and training
(see qualifications) however
the gift I value most is that of love. My work is about
relationships. I share my perspective truthfully. I believe
in you and your potential for greatness. I welcome you into
my family. It is this acceptance that I believe, beyond
anything else, changes lives. I know. It changed mine.
"What can you do to promote peace?
Go home and love your family." - Mother Theresa
