Finally, No Hidden Agenda

Maybe some have heard about the 35 year old truck driver, Shawn Bridges, who documented his death from methamphetamines for the sake getting others who are tempted or addicted to take a second look. With so many individuals cashing in on their moment of fame these days, it was heart-warming to see an individual who stood nothing to gain except sharing the moment of his truth. As much as I despise the thought of the "networks" profiting from this, I can be reassured that at least a genuine message is being portrayed, not unlike the many messages we get (true or otherwise) fueled by greed or special interest. He may be one of the few people we hear about who will never have a book deal, just a need to share his final chapter....the END.

Hi Mike,

Just popping in to thank you for entering the giveaway on my blog as well. Boy, aren't you a busy lil' bee! :)

Best of luck to you and thank you for your post about Shawn Bridges. Pretty amazing to see such a selfless act out of a person who society would typically disregard. He'll never know the amount of good that came out of his documentation. Truly, it only takes on to make a difference. Thanks, again, for sharing. It's quite humbling.
