# Welcome to the Guide
|
|
|
|
In the following paragraphs and pages I will attempt to explain who I am and why ...
|
|
|
|
So without any further ado ... let's begin ...
|
|
|
|
## A soul with no home
|
|
|
|
Years later a therapist would tell me that my spirit was severed at birth, and part of it stayed with my mother ...
|
|
|
|
I was adopted as an infant from a country in the Global South, by fair-skinned, farm-raised Protestant-turned-Evangelical Christians ... into the Western Suburbs of a Midwestern city-state known as Minneapolis-St. Paul.
|
|
|
|
At the age of five I began learning to play the piano, and started performing for old folks in nursing homes; as well as singing, and acting, in musicals for the church.
|
|
|
|
The highlight of this career being the opportunity to perform with the Christian-Barney, known as Psalty the Singing Songbook ... for the Billy Graham Kidz Gig.
|
|
|
|
By the age of 21, I'd been married/divorced, fathered a kid, and was on my fourth government name.
|
|
|
|
Yee-haw ...
|
|
|
|
By the age of 35, I'd finally met my mother and sister ... am now using my first and second government names for identification purposes; though have yet to reconcile them all into my sixth, and perhaps final, government name.
|
|
|
|
Next year I'll be 40; and hopefully finally have my undergraduate degree as well.
|
|
|
|
And that's the long and short of my then-to-now story.
|
|
|
|
So now into the details ... academically speaking.
