LIFETIME LIFEBUDDY*
The Story Behind the Master Class
Everyone loves a good story, one that inspires, motivates, stimulates, and calms the spirit. But, what if it’s not so good a story, our own story? Where details are a little tainted, dark, and yet steamy enough to blow the roof off. What if our story is a sad one, a secret that’s been locked in a dungy closet for many years to protect the ones we love? Don’t worry, I will spare you the gory details of my life, but I do want to share that I experienced a most wonderful and unlikely transformation. You see, I’m a walking miracle, a resilient and recovering adult who suffered deeply of a malady called Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES).
Before age 18, the impact of witnessing and experiencing violence, abuse of a parent and child (myself), the other parent going to prison, and substance abuse buried. A bundle of fear and hurt that settle deep within me. The traumatic events dictated that I would most certainly experience a negative quality of life either in my health; mentally or physically. It just so happened that it was my health. until an unforeseen event happened. I was introduced to my trusted adult, who uncovered all my past hurt.

The Story Behind the Master Class
ACES has a tremendous impact on future violence, perpetration of mistreatment, substance abuse, and lifelong quality of health. These types of trauma change the molecular structure of the brain, making it difficult to live a happy and successful life and decreases the mortality rate significantly.

My story ended well, but the outcome could have been so different. I would venture to say I’m here because my heart was opened to the possibilities of living in an atmosphere of authentic praise. What does that mean? The process of living in a reality of jovial happiness and praise in spite of the circumstances, no matter what is happening in your life. It’s not fake, but real. It’s a change in mindset, outlook, a total about face. And, I’m here to share with you the most miraculous discovery, that even though the statistics said my chances of recover were slim, I came back. One might ask how can this be? And I would say that is the basis for this course. If you’ve had a life of trauma, lived through a truck load of debilitating circumstances, and want to know how to turn around the negative cycle of thinking, this class is for you. Get ready for a Praise Transformation: And Praise, No Matter What Happens.
