When I was younger in Cleveland I would write these very scary stories in my room at night. They were so scary that I would end up burning them whenever I finished. I tried poetry in my early years but became frustrated because I thought that all poetry had to rhyme. Now after a life of work that mainly involved education and raising a family while dealing with divorce. I have come full circle A couple of years ago I wrote poems that were published in an anthology from our poetry group. I had used poetry to learn about myself and explore relationships. Now I am writing a memoir about a specific time in my life. The retired teacher/administrator, former athlete, and happily married 66-year-old man is excited to share his Tai Chi adventure with the rest of the world.

Book Details
I could feel my life was heading to a hopeless ending when a childhood experience led me to explore what I just couldn’t figure out. This meant abandoning my old life and creating a new me by allowing nature to be the guide to my healing. My life, previously buried in anger, needed a drastic change. I set off to find what I knew was missing and later discovered how my life changes were tied to my Tai Chi lessons I learned from my instructor. This memoir captured my life in 2010 during a trip that was called upon early in my life. A journey that has made me a happy man.
