In a world full of biographies, mine isn't one of fame, fortune, heroes, or tragedy. It's a story of a life lived with gusto, sorrow, and endurance. I believe everyone experiences both good and bad times. I titled it "All God's Chillun Got Worms" because I believe everyone experiences both good and bad times. We encounter both fulfilling and challenging relationships, learning from the difficult ones and appreciating the good ones even more. This tale begins with the family stories I grew up with, setting the stage for who I am and where I come from. I am proud of the person I've become, though not always of the journey. Because I believe everyone experiences these ups and downs, I carry no guilt about how I've lived my life. I hope you enjoy this story of a simple life, filled with its own share of worms.
