Inside Richards Mind...proceed With Caution

About Me

All About Me & Who am I?

That could take awhile to explain..... lets just say where I've been. Born into a dysfunctional family, saved by the US Navy. Educated by GI bill of rights , polished by the school of hard knocks. Been shot at, stabbed, beaten and loved. Met the worst and best people in the world. Learned what "take the best leave the rest" meant. Believes that the 12 steps works. One day at a time. Appreciates the humor God has given me and He posses. Did I mention that I talked to God. Believe that every one of us is important and together we can change the world. Hopes to leave fingerprints on a lot of minds.
