Today’s column is the type that got me hooked on this newsletter. It’s like Paul Harvey used to say during his radio broadcasts: “And now, the rest of the story.” I lived for a few years during the mid-late 70s in a small town just out of range of decent FM radio stations. Mr. Harvey was on an am station I ran across. His broadcast was a bright spot in my days.

“Paul Harvey Aurandt (September 4, 1918 – February 28, 2009) was an American radio broadcaster for ABC News Radio. He broadcast News and Comment on mornings and mid-days on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays and also his famous The Rest of the Story segments. From 1951 to 2008, his programs reached as many as 24 million people per week. Paul Harvey News was carried on 1,200 radio stations, on 400 American Forces Network stations, and in 300 newspapers.”

Some folks have dreams when they were children that focused them throughout their lives. I was one of them.

As a child, I would go around rubbing people’s backs. My parents put a stop to that immediately. Then I would pet animals. That was stopped too. I shut down. When I was in my 20’s, I was told that I was to be a massage therapist. I rolled my eyes, but took vacations learning alternative ways of healing, being told at each one that I should be a healer. Again I rolled my eyes. Finally at 45, I was frustrated at my non success and again told to look into being a massage therapist. So I finally went with it. Now I’m in my 70’s, I have two interns and am booked for the year with clients. Ya never know...

Anyone else have something like this happen?
