A Walk in My Shoes - D Rod Lloyd - Bog

Autobiography for D. Rod Lloyd, transitioning from an English background to a US adulthood.Lean what small things growing up formed the basis of the man.They say "to truly know and understand a man, you need to walk a mile in his shoes". Here is an opportunity to walk in my shoes and get to know me a little.There have been many autobiographies written by famous people or those who have made some notable contribution, making their story sought after. I write this not as a famous or prominent person, but as an average lad, for those who are interested, to see what my average life has consisted of and to truly see where I am coming from. I wish my grandparents had written such a book for me to know them better.In school I was the worst writer and speller. Now I am writing as a published author. This book has helped me understand my past and put all the pieces into prospective, understand how each experience has affected and influenced my life. Getting started was the hardest part. Once I started writing, I became addicted, consumed, I couldn't stop. It was almost like I needed to see where I came from and where it was taking me.They say when you have a near death experience, your life flashes before you. Writing your own life story is a much more civilized way to get what I assume is the same experience. It is a fascinating journey revisiting one's own life. Our memories are stored in the mind as little pockets of isolated information. Writing this book has allowed me to consolidate the memories into a logical and chronological order.
