Running For My Life

Fear is not being able to sleep at night. Losing eight pounds in one week because you can’t eat. You feel your sweat glands squeeze your life out through your pores. You’re consciously aware of every heartbeat, every breath.

You know what I’m talking about. One day, your perfectly normal mundane life gets blind-sided and nothing is ever the same again. It’s happening to me. I asked the wrong question and now I’m running for my life.

A trusted friend suggested that I write everything down and get it to her. That way, if anything happens to me, my story can be told. The American people need to wake up, ask questions and get involved…before it’s too late.
