Yes, that’s right. I’ve reached my breaking point. And here’s why:
My dad (RIP) was a man of boundless enthusiasm and zest for life. He fully expected to and wanted to live a good, long life – he was one of those ppl who lived life to the fullest – always enjoying every day that was given to him.
My dad passed in Jan. 2012 from leukemia at the age of 77.
See: MY DAD
My uncle, a man who became like a 2nd father to me when I was no older than 10 (because I would stay at their house for 1 week during the summer months) was also a man with a real zest for living. He, too, hoped to live well into his 90′s.
He had a heart condition – nearly 20 years ago he had had open heart surgery following a heart attack while deer hunting. For most of the past year he hadn’t been feeling well. He had bypass surgery scheduled again for early May, just days after celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary with my aunt, my dad’s sister. He was looking forward to this surgery convinced that he would once again feel much better afterwards.
He never left the hospital. He died exactly one week after celebrating his 74th bday.

to read about how I almost lost my life at the age of 19, 9 days b4 my 20th bday.

It’s mostly those events that have caused an epiphany in me.
Of course these 3 events combined with a sickness I used to suffer from. That sickness is the syndrome known as having too much month left at the end of my money, aka living paycheck to paycheck.
I’m not going to let “the powers that be” dictate my “destiny” anymore.
Through Empower Network, my future is secure.
My new “disease” is having too much money at the end of my month! and year! And that’s a disease I can LIVE with!
And the best part is, it’s CONTAGIOUS!!!
