Today is the beginning of my 18th year in the San Francisco Bay area. I have never lived in one place so long in my life!!!!! In early September of 1996 I left Houston with less than $200 in my pockets and all the personal possessions that I had. I took a Greyhound bus to San Jose, California. As I rode into town I listened to a radio station playing songs in Portuguese and enjoyed the beautiful day. I could not imagine the hard times and the good moments that lay ahead of me. My heart was full of hope and joy that afternoon.
Life takes us in many strange directions and wonderful discoveries. It never turns out the way we thought it would.
