Brenda's Story
After graduating from high school I played for five years. Part of that time in Houston and part of that time back at my dad's in East Texas. I'm glad I took time before heading directly to secondary education. I stayed in East Texas until 1988 and moved back to Houston briefly before heading off to college in Dallas. I achieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology in 1994 and my Master's Degree in Education with a specialization in Agency Counseling in 2002.
I finally admitted to myself and my family in 1990 that I was gay. If you would have asked me to name what I was going through in high school, I would have had no name for it. I just knew that I felt different. I never acted on my feelings until 1990 when I had my first girlfriend. My friends in high school were just that...my very best friends who kept me laughing and upbeat even though they knew nothing about what I was struggling with. SO...having said that....Virgil, Darian, Danette, June, David and Jason, you were my life savers and didn't even know it. Thank you. ...Expand for more
Since graduating from college I started my own private practice counseling center called The Whole Soul. I have found my way into specializing not only in counseling individuals but also working with parents who are divorcing or have divorced to get along for the sake of their kids. I also specialize in adoption and disputed custody social studies.
My partner and I were married in October 2008 in California just before they voted to repeal our ability to do so. She starts trying to get pregnant next month. I can't believe that I am finally going to be a mom....a MOM. I had a lot of growing up and growing to do to get here and I am grateful for every hard knock it took.
My brother and his wife of over twenty years still live in the Houston area- Jersey Village. They have two incredibly beautiful daughters who make my heart smile every time I see them and talk to them.
Again, if you're not living you, you're dying and life provides you with enough opportunity to do either. It's your choice.
