yellowducky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Pelzer I did it, I wrote out a checklist for myself on how not to be such a control freak! Now we just have to see if it's going to work. I'll keep every one updated. I wen't to Barnes and Noble on Thursday Night. Dave Pelzer was there. He's a writer, an advocate against child abuse and a motivational speaker. He had been abused by his mother--considered one of the worst recorded cases of child abuse in the state of California. His books about his experiences are amazing accounts of how the human spirit can triumph and overcome. He's up for a Pulitzer Prize right now. I respect him so much, and I got his autograph and got to listen to him speak. The most amazing thing is how he forgave his mother. It was a long process, and he had to learn not to let people take advantage of him, and she had to die, but he did forgive her. I want work to be over so I can go to a bonfire tonight. 1:22 p.m. - January 11, 2003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
