“Someone read Siddhartha on the radio and that changed my life.”

I have been in the mortgage business for a long time and I don’t find myself an insider, I’m more of an outsider. I think differently and I approach life differently. I tend to be kind of happy and even though things are not alway good I like that attitude better than my cynical side that I have felt at times. When you are a happy person people are attracted to you so you attract all kinds of things. I do find the alternative much more attractive and familiar to me than some mainstream of lifestyle.

When I was about 13, maybe even younger someone read Siddhartha on the radio and that changed my life and changed how I felt about life it made me different than others made me think different. It opened an alternative world to me that allowed me to think outside of the box that I was raised in.

When I was little I had a stuffed animal it was like a little pig head. It was a little round pig and it had a little flat bottom so he could sit down but he was kind a poofy. I started collecting pigs after that. It was my favorite animal. He slept on my bed, he slept with me.
