First I would like to welcome you all to my blog. I appreciate you taking the time to read what I have to say and I hope that you gain something from it. This blog will be mostly life advice, a lot of it in the form of my life experiences and how I handled them and what the results were. If you’re wondering why you should take advice from a 32 year old all I can say is read and find out. Through this blog I hope to take my readers on a journey of my life and the ups and downs that I have experienced and find some way to make it relatable. My hope is that my readers will be inspired by my story and my experiences and can learn from the things I’ve done right but more importantly from the things that I have done wrong. I hope that in times of adversity people will find peace and strength the way that I have in times. I’ve not always made the best decisions and I’m far from the image of success but when I look at where I have been and the experiences I have had I am amazed every day at where I have ended up. I have risen above many obstacles in my 32 years and I try every day to continue my rise. (Now you get the title?) I owe a lot of that to the people that gave me guidance when I needed it the most. My biggest hope is that I can repay that through this blog by helping other people who may be going through similar life experiences with little guidance. I will always be open to feedback and topic suggestions. I hope my words reach as many people as possible but not at the expense of being able to connect with each of you individually. I hope that I’m always able to answer questions for all of my readers. I hope you enjoy it.
