Wilson

Hi Wilson, thanks for your update. That is really tough not having your family around, hang in there, stay strong. It's a struggle right now, but eventually things will fall into places. Take one step at a time, continue to focus on your goals and keep thinking positive. What an awesome idea getting a puppy, that would motivate you to start your training. A dog is a man best friend and great companion. I wish you much success on planning your own business. Looking foward for your next post.

Hey Wilson, I know it may seem like a lot to go through at the moment but, if you stay determined you'll get through it in due time. I'm sorry I know It must be difficult not having your family around but, you can use this as motivation to plan things for the future and the times where you will have them around. Speaking of plans, I think it's an excellent idea starting your own dog training business. You seem excited about it and i'm excited for you. I wish you much success with your business. Just remember to be patient and persistent with your goals and everything will work out fine. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Born, thanks for the update… keep pushing thru the struggles… you know the interventional community is here for you. Glad to see you got started right away in the planning process of your business (Honorable Paws). The success of your business depends on how much you’ll fight for it, which means you have to stay positive. The programs sound a bit crazy but in the end you’ll get all your freedom back… be patient with that. Btw, which program is best helping you, if any? Can’t wait to hear more about Honorable Paws... Wishing you best of luck and much success Born!!

Hi Born! Honorable Paws sounds like a great venture! Maybe you can fix my dog-- he's a little cray. It sounds like you've really thought about this and it's something you are really passionate about-- I look forward to seeing where this takes you. Pertaining to all the parole stipulations-- it's hard. Hard is an understatement, I know. Try to keep in mind that in time this too shall pass. Do what you gotta do, prove yourself to your PO, complete your programs, and the stipulations will slowly relax and fall away. It's important to keep consequences in mind. Sacrifice now will shape your tomorrow. Good look with the new puppy!

Thank you all for your comments and support. I really need it at this time, so i will be looking to this community for it because the one i live in is harsh.

Born - here is what I heard, brother: the strength and struggle in your voice. Here is what I know: You owe the world to be better than your circumstances. It's the outfit that you wear best -- so wear it proudly. Anything else will just strip you of your 2nd chance, and we can't afford that! To say I feel your pain will be to say too much -- I sure do hear you, though. Remember, you are smart, very smart, but sometimes the world plays it the other way. Just keep forward living and you'll meet the world half way. Trust me! The smart always prevail brother. Stay focus!

Hello Born, My son John (Just Ruler) speaks highly of you and is glad you're out and on your way to a bright future. It must be tough going at first but please don't despair, you have friends and family that support you. I'm sure you want to tackle everything right away but please keep in mind that your new road will take you where you want to be a step at a time. Be patient with yourself. You're puppy venture is awesome and John hopes to meet up with you when it's his turn to be home again.
