As a single parent with a teenage son, I have found that life is short and every moment should be treasured like it was your last. I have found that time is one thing we never have enough of. Currently, I am throwing myself into my life goals, getting my MBA, raising my son and working full time. In my spare time, I channel that creative energy into writing about my life and the roads I have traveled. I've gone thru many experiences that have tested my true character and I've realized that I can and will overcome just about any obstacle that I am faced with in life. I still struggle every day on becoming a better person....but my quest is helping others as I know what it is to be lost not knowing what lies ahead. I want to be able to share my life experiences and some of the things I've learned along the way with others. If I can help one person then I have succeeded.

If I can share with you my ideas of hope, perseverance and determination and you are touched, then I have succeeded.

Sammy Rangel “FOURBEARS: Myths of Forgiveness”
FourBears: The Myth of Forgiveness: isn't a simple memoir; it is a graphically illustrated guide from tortured child, to remorseless beast, to healing and change. This book is about helping others find their way out of their history and into the here and now. Proof that what once held you down can now hold you up. After the book reflects on a horrific upbringing it looks to offer key and ground breaking insights of the inner workings of the mind of a victim and later a perpetrator of hate and violence. Service providers working in treatment centers and institutional settings would greatly benefit from this work. Anyone facing issues with forgiveness and change might find a process toward healing and recovery.
