Each month I visit my local pharmacy. Walk upto the counter and give a sizable percentage of my income for medication I need to breathe! Yep, you read that right, I pay to breathe every month!
Sometimes pharmacists, even the ones that know me, squint at the price as if they know something cannot be right! Sometimes they even comment, “Are you aware of the co-pay of this?” That happens more times than I can count. Trust me.
My book Onebreath is about that and more. The idea/concept that there are people out in the world that HAVE TO pay a large price just to breathe.
The price does not just consist of money. As you will read, it has cost me; love, relationships, family and altered my view on the world and what is REALLY important to life.
I have had an enriched life. The characters and experiences I have encountered are part of my history. A history I want to share with the world. Remember, history does not change, just the facts that consist of it does.
What you will read here and in my book are factual. Life consists of many stories, I will be sharing some of mine with you. (Some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent and guilty. Or maybe they have not been. Either way, they are part of my history and what does history NOT do…’ Nuff said!)
