Description

Adam's story and his struggles.Even though we each have dreams for that perfect life, many times we self sabotage ourselves for some hidden reason.  Adam shares the struggles he's had over the past several years with failed gay relationships, hurting himself and hurting others whom he's loved and lost.  Thankfully, his suicide attempts were not successful and he's here to share his poignant story with us.  It's so easy to judge others.  "Why didn't you do that"?  "Why did you say that"?  "Didn't you learn anything from the last time this happened"?  And yet, so many times we all do this type of thing to ourselves.  Hopefully, Adam's courage in sharing his story will give each of us insight into the way we so often behave in the very same way.And perhaps it will remind us to truly appreciate whom we have in the person sitting there, right in front of us.The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now: 988 Suicide and Crisis LifelineText or call 988 on your cell phone for help.LGBT youth crisis helpline.

This is a story of my journey from married man with three sons, involved in ministry in the NW, to my current life as a gay man in Palm Springs, CA. I weave in interesting interviews with amazing people whom I've met along the way. Life is fascinating, it's a gift and it's always leading me down new roads to explore! It's stunning for me to look back on my adult life and to see the changes that have taken place- from a closed minded, judgmental, very unhappy man to the energized, open minded, hopeful, loving man I am becoming today. The Universe always continues to send me just the right people at just the right time to open up a new door in my mind. I've learned so much from these souls. Join me as I have conversations with these fascinating people and share this journey with you.
