What a beautiful wedding we'd had! People came from the church, from my old neighborhood, from my parents' jobs and civic clubs. And the gifts! There must have been hundreds! Not bad for a girl from Southwest Atlanta, God's country.So during the week after my honeymoon while I was writing my acknowledgements, I asked hubby not to open so fast. I couldn't keep up. He snatched me up from the hassock I was sitting on and slammed me against a wall in my parents' home. 'Don't you EVER tell me what to damn do, bitch. Do you hear me? These are MY gifts!'
And did I mention that hubby had not one guest to attend the huge gala or send a gift, not even his parents? That should have told us something. Well, family members who weren't severely bitten by the love bug were probably in the know.For some reason other than low self-esteem I, a well-educated, well-read woman with enormous potential not only married down; but stayed in an abusive relationship for all of the wrong reasons. When I couldn't console the first of two babies, born 20 months apart, hubby slapped me, causing a physical confrontation with my brother. Hubby stormed out of my parents' home in SWAT and called from Carrollton 'If I have to come get you, I'm going to blow your brother's brains out.'One time my father, the coolest dad of them all, even went after hubby with a gun. I remember my mom saying 'Look what you made your daddy do. He hasn't been like this for a long time!
God freed me and my warped mind when my children were both babies. Thankfully they have no recollection of the fact that I was ever married, a fact I had to explain repeatedly when they started school, and all the other children had two parents.
Last month Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was instrumental in the Supreme Court in upholding a federal ban on gun possession for people convicted of all forms of domestic abuse. I wanted to thank her personally, on behalf of all battered people stuck in bad situations; and I can spot them a mile away. She has no idea how many lives she has touched and possibly saved from a sure death. In her ruling she said that 'Firearms and domestic strife are a potentially deadly combination nationwide.' If you don't want to access the statistics on the internet, then just watch the nightly news.I commend Associate Justice Ginsburg. I live because of God's grace and the certainty of my family's support and belief that I would soon, in less than 4 years, return to my good sensibilities. If you want to hear my story and how I overcame it, especially if it will help you, just send me an e mail.
Peace!

Go Ruth! You tell 'em girl!
But listen, the real reason that I'm writing to you, Pamela, is that I just love all the things you said about BillionaireMatrix.com!
As the creator of the site, I have as my primary objective a hope that millions of people will make significant money simply from joining, and that many more will be substantially rewarded for their comparatively insignificant efforts.
The entire matrix is growing much faster than I had originally anticipated; it's growing by 10% every 3 to 4 days. If it were a weightlifter, it would fill this room by the end of the month! LOL
As an engineer/statistician (okay, geek!), I must admit that I am thrilled at the concept of creating something which grows every single day. Although we're only into our first month of official launch, we're taking on members at an hourly pace, and I'm certain that within a year we will be breaking the 6-digit mark. Won't that be exciting?
Again, thank you for your sweet and enthusiastic comments regarding our matrix tool. We will do everything within reason to see that it benefits you and your progeny.
Best regards, Tony
