started high school, my life changed forever. Of course it was for the better. I was blessed with sharing a life with my nephew. He showed me a way of life I never knew existed.

His Dad, which is my brother, was in prison. His teenaged Mom, Alyse, was struggling as a single parent. She felt like she couldn’t give John the life he deserved. Alyse
“Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it” said Buddha. Defining one’s values, visions and mission statement for themselves is exactly what Buddha stated “your purpose in life”. Without developing a mission, vision and values to assist in developing a strategy, an individual cannot identify, distinguish or explain themselves to others.
