Shannan Kym grew up in a family where addiction, violence, and extreme dysfunction were normalized. Robbed of her childhood, she was forced to grow up at a very young age. After not graduating from high school and leaving her family, she was filled with self-loathing and shame. Suppressing her feelings, Shannan became an alcoholic. For years, she abused her body, gained excessive weight, and let herself be taken advantage of by toxic people, including marrying a narcissist. She experienced career highs and lows and suffered the loss of a child. Eventually, Shannan hit rock bottom, but on August 17, 2019, everything changed. That day, Shannan made up her mind to stop letting addiction control her life. She also decided to get real, let go of her past hurts, embrace forgiveness, and focus on living each day with gratitude, purpose, light, and love. In her new book, FIND THE ANSWERS WITHIN YOU: Ten Pathways Toward Self-Discovery Shannan breaks out her book in three sections, not only revealing her tragedies to triumphs but also ten pathways for any reader to be inspired to live by:   In Part I, Shannan tells her story of trauma and addiction. The youngest of eight, Shannan was four when her father, a violent alcoholic, took his own life. Soon after, her eldest brother, at age 20, became the abusive, hard-drinking man of the house. Broken, twisted, and cruel, Walter took pleasure in pinching, hitting, punching, kicking, bullying, and berating Shannan and her sisters—enabled by their mother. To escape the fear and hatred she felt toward her brother, Shannan turned to alcohol in high school. For many years after, she continued to seek solace in bottles of wine, which only aggravated her insecurities, anxiety, and depression. Part II follows Shannan’s healing journey. In this section, Shannan lets readers in on what she learned—from her hellish childhood, toxic relationships, troubled marriage, and determination to change—to help them draw lessons from their own experiences. Stressing how self-worth begins with awareness, Shannan reveals how she came to speak her truth about being an addict, identify and manage her triggers for drinking, and got out of being stuck in her own story. She also shares how she took responsibility for her actions, forgave and said goodbye to those who hurt her, overcame self-criticism and perfectionism, committed to healthy eating, exercise, and treating her body with care, and cultivated a mindset of gratitude. Ultimately, Shannan recognized trauma as a gift for what it taught her, about others and herself, and how it led her to discover her life’s purpose.

John Stewart Hill, founder of The Good Contractors List, but more importantly, I’m a man who had completely given up on life — until God stepped in.In 2011, I was broke, hopeless, and praying for God to end my life. During one of the worst freezes in Dallas–Fort Worth history, I suffered a massive heart attack. As I was being wheeled into ICU, I heard a clear voice ask, “Well, John, do you want to stay or go?” That moment changed everything. I told God, “I’ll stay, but I don’t want to be the same person I’ve been.”From that surrender came three simple requests:I want to be remembered for doing something good.I want to truly live, not just be alive.I want to touch as many lives as possible.Six months later — with no money, no education, no business experience, and now with a damaged heart that left me with Congestive Heart Failure and a pacemaker — I felt led to create something that didn’t exist: a way to separate the good contractors from the bad ones and guarantee every job up to $25,000. That’s how The Good Contractors List was born. Today, it’s backed over $5 billion in projects, helped thousands of homeowners, and built what I now call Collective Authority Marketing — a Kingdom-minded model where ethical business owners unite to raise standards, protect people, and give God the glory through excellence.But my story didn’t end there. In 2022, I received a heart transplant, and I later met my donor’s family. Their last name was Wachal — Bohemian for “Watchman.” The young man whose heart now beats in my chest was Christian Wachal. I literally have the heart of a Christian Watchman, and I don’t think that’s an accident.My mission now is simple: to build Kingdom businesses that become a light in dark industries, restore trust where it’s been broken, and show the world what happens when faith leads the way.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   The things a guy does that girls will never understand.  Plus…learning how to stay out of the everyday jury.  The art of not judging others.   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

What began as a grassroots effort in 2015 grew into a thriving boys’ and girls’ varsity legacy. The film follows the 2024 boys’ team chasing one last title, but it’s more than a sports story—it’s about identity, grief, leadership, and resilience. One player embraces his adoption with courage. Another plays in memory of his late brother. Coaches, many of them founders, struggle to balance competitiveness and compassion. With emotional interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, the film explores how these young men face life, not just the scoreboard.
