Years of being "Homeless" in Santa Barbara I escaped! Through "CREATIVITY" I was able to change my
life on west Beach. I may have brought negativity to the minds of some who may not have appreciated
what I did on that beach, the positive feed back was overwhelming at times from the locals. I had never
made any art before I arrived in Santa Barbara, nor have I ever done it anywhere else other than West
Beach, for that I owe my life to the city of Santa Barbara (although at time's they could be difficult with
the homeless),For had it not been for my experiences there I may have never made it out alive like so
many didn't".
I am well and in the race, eyes on the prize, living in New Bedford Mass now with Family,yet will never
forget all who were apart of my life in SB.
I testify, if you are living on the streets remeber within you there is a spark, ready to ligfht a fire under
you, find it.
Best to all, never give up!!!!!
PS: The Santa Barbara Harbor Patrol tolerated me, for that they deserve a medal. Mike, Linda, and their
outrigger teams over the years were the best of neighbors.
