About the project
My Passion Behind my Passion:
My passion behind my purpose is to assist human beings realize the Absolute Truth of Self-Worth. I believe that all people have All the gifts required within themselves to become the best person we can be.
To unlock the ability to look on each day with peace, love, and joy as well as a hope for tomorrow. Though struggles may make us pause; we alone have the choice to allow those strugggles to stop us or to keep living - Not just exist but to live an empowered, confident, and fulfilled existence!
"Scotty's Spirit: Say No to Thoughts of Suicide" was created in Honor of our son, David Scott. Scotty was only 22 years old when he hung himself in our barn. Scotty had emotional hurts that he chose to self-medicate with drugs & alcohol. He didn't want to hurt us anymore and thought that suicide was his only option!
I want to speak to Middle Schools, High Schools, Colleges, Church Groups - you name it; ultimately cross the country speaking truth about a taboo, uncomfortable subject. I will also create & organize a 3 week group study allowing peer to peer conversations of what burdens the hearts & minds of attendees.
The Importance of Speaking Truth in a Real Way, with NO Embarrassment, Shame, &/or Judgement in 3 main areas:
1. Self Worth: The I Am Factor - All of us were made for greatness, to be loved, to be believed in! Each person realizes for themselves that "Their" Worth is immeasurable, so therefore, their opportunities & options are as well.
2. Real Monsters in the closet - Eviction Notice: Drug & alcohol abuse, Bullying, Depression, Unsafe Home Life, Abuse, Thoughts of Suicide or Suicide Attempts
3. Solution Seeker: No Rugs Need Apply - **Changing Hopelessness into HOPE** - To Be honest with yourself & to tell someone you trust who could assist in - the beginning of a New Chapter Filled with Opportunities: Treatment, Therapy: Self & Family, Coping Mechanisms for daily use, to feel JOY.
I would have chosen Self Worth vs. Self-Hate as my platform. I wouldn't have chosen to lose our Scotty.
The purpose behind my every growing passion is to ensure that Every Human Being Finds HOPE & that No more parents have to bury their children by suicide.
I appreciate your time, your consideration, & may I say in faith...your Yes Answer in providing assistance.
May God Bless You & Yours,
