Jeffrey's Story
Life
Well life is certainly a lot different than I thought it would look like at this point in the adventure. I finally got married in my early 30's and had a good run for about 7 years, then we divorced and I have not remarried.
I got into the boadcasting industry - radio - in my early 20's and did that for nearly 20 years. It was a great career. We used to joke that it was one of the few career fields where you had to test positive on the drug screen to get a job!
Life got really good, I got sober via 12 step recovery, owned a beautiful home on the Russian River in Healdsburg (about an hour north of San Francisco), but that all ended in 1996 when I broke my back, and my life changed radically.
My life as i knew it pretty much ended, and I started again.
I went back to school and got licenced as a counselor, and am now doing that pretty much full time as well as working on my masters degre in consciousness studies, also pretty much full time.
I'm still living in Sonoma County, north of San Fr...Expand for more
ancisco, and like it a lot. There are still trees and lakes and rivers and space up here, I'm close to the ocean and close to my mom and sis (nancy, class of '79) who are over on the coast in Sea Ranch / Gualala.
So, life is goofy and an adventure, but all is well. Though as I mentioned it is a lot different than I thought it would look like at this point, I am blessed, and happy most of the time. I am really fortunate to be doing work that is extrememly fulfilling, and am still learning a lot through my studies and open to whatever is next for me to do. If you're really curious you can check out my website, SpiritPathCounseling.
Drop me a note of you'd like. I haven't kept in touch with too many people from high school and kind of regret that. Funny how one's perspective on life gets a little different when we get a little older.
It was a good time, high school, and i look forward to crossing paths with some of you again at some point, perhaps at a reunion?
Until then, be well : )
