Celebrating Life

In a flash our lives can change.  Long before I evolved into Tob Blonde my life was very different.  One bright sunny afternoon when I was living in Southern California just south of Santa Monica, my life changed forever.  I was attacked in my home at knifepoint.  Seven years later, I wrote my story in a book, "Nice Girls Don't Get Raped."  After a long road to recovery, healing came.  Probably if I could have one wish it would be, Justice for Jennifer, because the person who assaulted me was never arrested.  Never even found.  Untill that time comes, my greatest victory over what happened is in embracing each moment.  God spared my life that day for a reason...and now twenty-six years later, Top Blond continues to take the day and savor each and every experience, joy, goodness, and glimpse of God.  As a late bloomer, I have hope that the best is yet to come!  That the blue bird of happiness will land on my porch.  No matter what you or I face, it's never too late to step up to the plate and hit a home run.  Mine is yet to come.  What about you?
