Hi, my name is Howard, I am 46 years old as of this update (7-5-11) I have been married to my beautiful wife Anita for 22 years we have a 26 year old son Howard IV and we have a beautiful 2 year old daughter Leah Grace. My profile picture is Leah on her 2nd birthday (5-24-11).
I owned a Wholesale Florist Company for 18 years however at age 35 I was diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor which changed the whole game plan for my wife and I. To keep a long story short I was accepted into a medical trial which ultimately saved my life. In total I had six brain surgeries to remove recurring tumors. I was eventually diagnosed as having a rare genetic disorder which has progressed over the years.
I now work from home due to my disabilities and I enjoy writing articles as they are a means for me to share some of the knowledge I have gained over the years.
Up until the age of 35 I lived an exciting life. I began investing in real estate at the age of 18, I started a boxing career at the age of 21 and I turned professional just 2 years later. My boxing career took me all over the country and I was very successful. In addition to starting my own Wholesale Florist company I helped my wife establish her own business which has gown into a sizable enterprise. I was also an avid golfer and whenever time afforded my wife and I would join my father in-law out on the course.
I have plenty of websites online however the one that I am most passionate about is my Personal Development site which I truly enjoy writing for. If your interested you can have a look right here:
Positive Thinking For Personal Success!
My disabilities have really changed everything about my life and they have helped me to re-prioritize just about everything. I work hard at building a successful online business as it is the only means I have to help support my family.
I recently added a new article to my site which has a video of me talking about my disabilities and what I have done to overcome the natural progression of the depression that most people must face when they experience a live altering event such as mine.
If you would like to watch the video and read the article you can follow this link: How To Overcome Depression
Please feel free to leave me any questions or comments either here or at my website.
I wish you all the best!
Sincerely,
Howard
