j.k. livin means never having to explain why because people you surround yourself with know why. j.k. livin has been my "mantra" since I was a teenager and faced down the big C. I am a survivor in every since of the word. I overcame Cancer, I survived 2 heart attacks and by pass surgery, I've been in car wrecks where I should have been killed and did not receive a scratch, I walked away from an accident where I was pinned under a truck for 4 hours and freed myself, I contracted staph infection after a stay in the hospital which could have killed me. In spite of all the stuff life has thrown at me I have still managed to travel and see a lot the U.S.A and have met some of the greatest the people on earth. At the age of 40 I decided to return to college and get another degree and am only 21 hours away from a B.S. in Psychology and after having to take a year off due to heart complications, I will return in the Fall 09. j.k. livin and life has a way of leveling the playing field.
