Also my parents:
My mother is an incredible person who feels other people so deep and helps them whenever she can; she has some way of understanding what goes on in a persons soul and she knows when to say the right thing - I'm just trying to learn that from her.
My father is a man from the city - he is street-smart, very inteligent and knows how to handle most life situations. We're both musicians, so I get understanding from him on that matter also.
I love them both very much, and think I've got many things to learn from them, even now, when I'm living in a different city - I call myself the son of a witch and an angry demi-god...

My father-in-law.
He had such a marvelously positive attitude toward life, and a wonderful knack for keeping things in proper perspective.
Whenever something unfortunate happen to him, he used to say,
"You know, a few weeks from now, all this is going to make a really great story."
Reminding myself of this saying has helped me get through many a tough moment.
Thank you, George.

Actually, it was a couple. Phillip and Wanda W. They were my pastor and his wife. They spent lots and lots of time with me answering questions and just giving of themselves. They helped me change my life. Even though I didn't get everything they taught me when they taught it, over the years as things have come up in my life I remember things they taught me that pertain to what I'm going through now and I apply it and it helps me. Thank you Phillip and Wanda!

Richard Dawkins. His book 'The God Delusion' has shown me the path from religion to atheism.

my parents
because they both taught me about respect & not to judge a book my a cover, basically dont judge according to the looks. & showed me how to love and always showed kindness to everyone, God bless them.
they made sure I was and knew I was loved & I am loved. Not because of what i have done or not done, but just because they Love me for WHO I am,

A teacher. I admired her so much as a child that I wanted to grow up and become a teacher just like her. And I did!

A professor. He taught me....then after I graduated I was privileged to work with him for fifteen years....and during that time he continued TO teach me. He gave me confidence....technique .... and most of all the ability to put my experience to work for me.
