I grew up below the poverty line
(It's the hard-knock life for us! It's the hard-knock life for us!).
We had no running water (other than the nearby river) and sometimes no food in our bellies.
Today, I'm the proud owner of 2.5 bathrooms (me, not the bank) and have too much food in my belly (we won't even talk about my hips). If I never worked again, I'd still be able to pay my bills . All that at the ripe ol' age of 35.
I wish I could say it was due to my own natural brilliance.
Nope (please stop laughing now).
I had the generous and much appreciated help of mentors. The only payment they asked of me was that I passed the knowledge on.
And that, my dear friend, is the purpose of this blog
So
Sit back.
Relax.
Put on your head gear, and get ready for a trip through the atmosphere.
