Now I m just thankful I did. When you see and smell naked, grinding poverty up close you never forget it.
Poverty is ugly and confronting.
Poverty makes you feel sick inside. I was about as far as you can get from this scenario when I made a decision that changed my life and ultimately led me to island nation of Haiti. Lounging about on a houseboat enjoying New Years Day, some talkback radio babble caught my attention. I m going to give up smoking, drinking , picking my nose. But then came one out of left field.
