Overview

Every life is a story, every story is a book, but most books are never written. We are born, our story begins, life happens and our journey begins. Each story develops over time from infancy through adulthood and changes due to choices we make, and many times by events over which we have no control. Our journey takes us in one direction based on decisions we make, or in another direction based on decisions we don't make. And, as we learn over time, not making a decision is a decision. As we have our successes and failures, we also learn that failure is not terminal, and all we have to do to succeed is to keep getting up and trying again. How our story moves toward the next challenge or adventure, is determined by how we react to each event and propelled by our next step forward. It is the life's lessons and what we learn from them that help us grow, gain experience and wisdom, and move us along our journey. We decide if we are in charge of our destiny or if destiny is in charge of us. We drift aimlessly or we paddle in the direction of our goals. Crooked Sidewalks will guide you as you navigate your journey and share your own story.
