<p>This is my story tracing my life from the beginning (1941) to</p><p>the present (2023) highlighting trails I have traveled as a</p><p>Sandlapper from the sandhills of South Carolina. Three</p><p>central themes guide the path to transformation:</p><p> </p><p>Mind: How challenges in the pursuit of four university</p><p>degrees with a serious learning disability led to courageous</p><p>risk-taking across six careers</p><p> </p><p>Body: How a farmboy's body developed through demanding</p><p>work in the fields to sports hiking long-biking yoga strength</p><p>training and golf</p><p> </p><p>Spirituality: How a young Southerner growing up in a</p><p>devoted Methodist family nurtured a vastly different spirituality</p><p>centered on humanism.</p><p> </p><p>I trust the reader can connect my adventures to your their trail</p><p>of life.</p>
