I have been on a very long journey....I have been making my way through this world for almost forty-five years. The beauty of my journey, it has been completely on my own terms. The good, the bad and the ugly.
Like Frank Sinatra sang " I did it my way."
That does not mean that the journey has not come with many obstacles and alot of heartache and pain.
I have made good choices and not so good choices.
People say to mean, Wow you have an amazing life. I use to look at these people and say are you crazy.
But after here this statement over and over and over again......I realized that yes I do.
Not that is has not come with sacrafice. But my life has been and is worth celebration.
So I thank all of you for continually telling me this.
My life is truly a life by design.......My design.
I say Thank you.

The Beginning
So it was January 28, 2009. That was the day that I was allowing my search to begin. After twenty-three years of living in Los Angeles and just shy of thirteen years of working my job. I decided enough was enough. I was unhappy in both my life and my job for a very long time.
I was in a very destructive, long term relationship with FEAR. That is what kept me in both the job and in Los Angeles.
I decided no more. So I quit my job and made the decision that was long time coming to move out of LosAngeles. I had to remove my safety net and take a LEAP OF FAITH and go in search of the life that I was yearning for. I must say that the last night at my job when I came out from behind the bar for the very last time, I was flying high on all of the love and support that was showered on me, and the excitment for the gift of FREEDOM that I just gave to myself.
I feel extremely blessed and filled with a tremendous amount of gratitude for the journey that I have been on for the past two years as I approach my anniversary date of me setting myself FREE.
This feeling, I wish for everyone. We all have the power to DESIGN our own life.
Take control, you will be thrilled that you did.

New Year New Beginning.
This year I have decided that I was going to follow through on the suggestions of many friends.
I have been told that for a number of years that I really should be sharing my journey through life with writing a blog.
I was going to start the blog last year and before I knew it, 365 days had passed and I allowed my self to get distracted with other things. One of my biggest issues with starting the blog was having a phobia of computers, seeing I am not A TECHIE.
My life for the past two years has really been about going IN SEARCH OF FOOD FOR THE SOUL and facing fears. I decided if not now when. I am trying to live my best life now.
Thank you all in advance for tuning in.....I appreciate all of the love and support.
All the best.
Peace,
Joe
