Dealing with the challenges in prison can be gruesome. It’s important for me to stay focused on the goals that I set for myself. One of those goals is my recovery from drugs and alcohol. Leading a clean sober life is crucial to my transformation. I’m not able to change the ones around me but […]

Late last night after I got done reading a few chapters of a real estate book. I began to think of how my life now is just like a real estate investor. How you ask? Well because I had to invest in myself. I had to buy into the rehab process of rebuilding my life. […]

As a person who always avoids lines – I refuse to wait in line at a restaurant or at the bank, if atall possible – wow! Reality has just slapped me in the face. Lines are everywhere and almost allthe time, though luckily, I’ve never had a line for the restroom or shower. It starts […]

“I am not a monster.” Most of those who find me on the project’s site, as well as other inmates who have also been, or currently are, incarcerated for a grouping of crimed referred to as “sex offenses,” would not believe the above statement. Many media outlets, “docudrama” style reality programs and True Crime-inspired shows […]

Embracing the Future: The Power of Adaptability and Continuous Learning In the ever-evolving tapestry of life, change is the only constant. During my 26 years of incarceration, the world outside transformed in ways I could never have imagined.
