This autobiography is an accumulation of over 15 years of writings. I'm 71 and have experienced many wonderful, beautiful, educational, and enlightening moments. I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope is gone, unrelenting loneliness and extremely deep re-occurring depressions. Flip sides of the same coin we call life.This manuscript will make you laugh and cry as you read of a life that you'll grow to love, because in truth, it's your own. I'm Ok, so you're Ok.

I've survived impossible accidents that should have killed me. I was crushed with a thirty-ton, fifty-thousand horsepower overhead crane in a steel foundry, a foot more, and I would have been cut in two. Mary Jo, my wife of 20 years, died suddenly in front of me while we were on our first cruise celebrating a second honeymoon. She was only 43, a blood clot exploded her heart. I've filed bankruptcy twice, losing half a million dollars of real estate. No car in 10 years, rent a furnished apartment and all I own is a cell phone, television, and computer. I've had 20 different careers, starting with pumping gas when I was 16. Naming a few, I've been a foreman in a steel foundry, automobile salesman, district manager overseeing a 15 million dollar territory, owner of a television/appliance retail company, store manager responsible for 80 employees, retail manager in the cellular industry, store manager in the retail dollar business and a dealer for one of the largest casinos in the nation. I guess I've never figured out what to do for a living because I'm somewhat lacking in common sense. Some of the wise decisions I thought I was making turned out to be really ridiculous. When writing these down, I wondered how on earth could I have possibly been that dense. You'll find many of these wise decisions absolutely hilarious and somewhat sad in how stupid they were. If you happen to be in a management position, you'll read great advice on how to improve performance and have fun doing it. Also, you'll learn how to purchase a new automobile.

I started jotting down thoughts on a cell phone memo pad over 15 years ago. These writings have turned into over a dozen manuscripts. An author has the natural talent to paint pictures with words, I do not possess that skill set. Quite by accident, I've developed into a writer. We are entering into an era of magnificent beauty, perfect harmony, perpetual joy, growing wisdom, pure truth, unending peace and unconditional love. You'll read of miracles that I and others have personally witnessed, there are no other logical explanations for what occurred. I've documented everything as accurately as memory permits. Read with an open heart and mind and develop your own conclusions. Our awakening transcendence is occurring now. Bob
