Persistence
”Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." ~ Calvin Coolidge
 
A few nights ago we were making love (Howie and I, not Coolidge) and I exclaimed, “No one has EVER been so good to me!”  Without even missing a beat, Howie replied, “Nor to anyone else.”  I believe that.  I cannot image any person ever being more loved and cared for than the way Howie treats me.  I always thought of myself as being the most loving in relationships, but my expression of love pales by comparison.
 
I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
 
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
