Not too long ago I heard her say, "I never met a drug I didn't like." Even if she lives through everything that she's doing to herself and her loved ones, what will her consequences be in the end? I heard that this same young lady has been running away from home, having sex with multiple partners, has been into very heavy drugs and other criminal activities. Since her parents, police and court systems have done the best they could to intervene, they will now have to sit idly by and just hope for the best. She was so sweet, so young, so innocent. How did this happen? She's only thirteen. I wish I couldn't relate... but I can.
 
Michael Kennon is the CEO and President of Kennon Transport, LLC, a successful trucking business he runs with his wife, Sue.  Before owning his own company, Mike was a runaway and was virtually homeless for most of his childhood and young adulthood.  To survive on the road, Mike drove trucks, sold encyclopedias, hustled pool, was a baker, ski instructor, sous chef and drug dealer--just to name a few.   Drugs and other dependencies took over Mike's life to the point that he could not accept help when it was offered, nor could he stop running away from a past that haunted him. While now blessed with what he has achieved in his life and in his personal and family relationships, things were much different at one time.  "Memoirs of a Runaway:  A Story of Hope" is a tale of survival and spirituality.  Isolation and reconnection.  Most of all, it is a hand reaching out to those who travel down the same troubled path; a story of hope.

I read a staggering statistic that said one in seven children between the ages of 10 and 17 will run away. 'Memoirs of a Runaway' is a story based on the life of a young man who ran away at a very early age but overcame the odds. Memoirs is an inspiring tale about hope and survival. (I should know... I lived it !!)
 
 

"I loved it...It HELD my interest! The ending and nearing the end of the book was especially great. I think your book will inspire many kids/adults that are runaways or having rough times in their own lives." --Janice Lansel

"I'm almost done with the book. I've gotten to the last chapter now and i don't want it to end ! I just really like this book and the character so much. And I read a lot of books !" --Sandra Ruemker

"Wow! You certainly have quite a story to share. You have been through so much. Where some people might have given up you persevered and have done so much. Your work demonstrates strong writing with a nice flow; your narrative voice is fantastic. You really have done a nice job discussing this subject. Your book is nicely put together; books like yours provide insight for many. I liked the way you chose to set up your text. It hooked me right from the start...the baseball story is truly amazing." --Jennifer Rush
  
  
Excerpts from book...

When I reached San Diego, a bunch of bikers pulled up in front of me.  I went up to them, unafraid of any danger that might be lurking.  As I approached them, one of the bikers said, “Hey kid!  Don’t you know it is dangerous to hitchhike out here?”
            “Ah, man.  I’m glad you’re here to protect me then,” I replied.  I began to think I was going to finally die when the bikers looked at each other and started laughing.

“Where are you going?” the biker asked.

“No clue,” I answered.

“Well, jump on.  We’ve been there several times, and we’ll sure take you right to it,” he responded.

I jumped on a bike driven by the gang’s smallest biker.  If I had to end up fighting someone, I wanted him to be the one.  After driving for a while, we stopped to stretch our feet.  One of the bikers asked me if I had ridden before, and I told him that I had ridden dirt bikes and bikes on ice in Crystal Lake.  They gave me an old 67 Triumph Bonneville to ride, and we toured around for quite a bit.  After a while, they had somewhere to go which clearly did not include me, but they told me to keep the bike and drove off.  I drove around Orange County toward the beach.  It occurred to me that the bike was probably hot and not registered, and I became nervous.  I rode the bike for one last time along the beach, parked it, and walked away.

our latest venture!
thanks to one of our truck drivers, sue (my wife) and i have begun a new journey! let's call it the road to good health! as long as i can remember, i've had health issues. mainly allergies and sinus infections. i've had to take antibiotics almost every year for the last 20 years. 4 years ago, antibiotics weren't working either and i ended up in the er, twice. so when a driver asked if i tried reliv or ever heard of lunasin, i said, 'why not, i've tried everything else' (and that's not a stretch; my mom was in alternative medicine and i've tried the latest and greatest--about everything).  i'm so impressed with the results, we now want to share this with everyone! read 'my story' on a new site we created called youtosuperyou.com

*The 'Memoirs of a Runaway' Challenge Continues..
Something I've toyed with for some time now is offering a guarantee on my book. Here's my idea... first of all (and the way I usually tell a story is by starting with an explanation); I wrote this book to provide hope and inspiration to those who have ever been in despair (seems to be most of us). The truth is (and according to my publisher), an unknown author (like myself) has little chance of selling books without getting reviews and 'creating a buzz'. Yes, admittedly, my intention is to show divine intervention and 'plant a seed', but some of the best advise I got when writing this book was not to preach or convince people of my belief, just tell a story. I encourage you to 'Google' the book, read reviews and order a copy today! If you don't find some form of entertainment, some inspiration in this book, I'll gladly refund your money! 
 
PS, I'm hoping to do a relaunch and recommitment to the Memoirs web page and Facebook sites. Please stay tuned and order a copy today! *Challenge books must be ordered thru PayPal on this site under the 'Paperback' section above. There will be a no questions asked refund within 30 days of purchase. Another reason for dong this, is because eventually I'd like to complete book #2 and it helps to have feedback. Enjoy the journey !!

2013 year in review...
went to wisc to see my daughter, grandkids and newest grandson and meet josh and family. finished strong in my 1st golden tee tournament. vacationed with friends in pompano beach. lots of exploring florida with my best friend and love of my life (which, yes, is still the wife)! mark n maria came to visit. got to give away the bride and one of the most beautiful girls i've ever seen (even if she is my daughter).

2012: A Year in Review

Kaleb born Dec 20thit was another challenging year (not necessarily a bad thing). trucking slowed to a standstill around thanksgiving and because i was indulging a bit more around the holidays my health issues kicked into gear again. we also recently lost our uncle. but god has been phenomenal thru it all !! allowing us to fly up and see our new grandson, kaleb, born dec 20th. god continues to provide for us and pay all our bills, allowing us to be cheerful givers and have peace and confidence during troubling times. i may have even graduated to the 6th grade of my spiritual journey--because in the end, it's just like working out--the more challenging life becomes, the more i exercise my faith and the stronger i become !! and, sue and i still continue to have a love affair going on 17 years (another miracle) !! http://www.facebook.com/yearinreview/overeager

10 year anniversary...with god.
i used to say that i'm in about the 4th grade of my spiritual journey (and man do i still have a long ways to go)...but i'm eternally grateful i'm no where near who/where i used to be (it's all in the book !!.
 
i'm learning that when we forgive, love and live not under law but under grace (having a relationship with him), we are truly living in the abundance of god and in his will !!
 
i've also learned that i can be a blessing, not a burden. that i can be a contributing, functional member of society.
 
if you've read 'memoirs of a runaway' you know that i believe god was and is working in this mans life. it is my vision to provide hope and encourage others when i can (hebrews 10:24--'24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another —and all the more as you see the Day approaching.')
 
i believe our lives are living testimonies. i believe the more we know (about god) the better life becomes. again, i admit, i have a long ways to go, but at least i can say without a doubt--this man has a heart for god, and there's no changing that...period.

Time to Reboot!

b4nafterjuicing3.jpg here are some of the results from juicing in just over 60 days... have now lost 26 pounds, feeling much better and thinking much clearer. several symptoms are either gone or getting much better. prior to being diagnosed with a systemic candidiasis infection (mainly attacking esophagus, sinuses and brain) multiple doctors had prescribed antibiotics and prescriptions for years thinking it was bacterial. a year and a half ago i was admitted to the er twice and released with 'unknown causes'. even tho they did not find a cure they continued to prescribe medication (what my mom called 'masking the symptoms and not getting to the root cause').

part of my inspiration came from a movie called 'fat, sick and nealy dead' (watch the whole movie for free @ http://www.hulu.com/watch/289122). i also recommend the movie 'super size me', and a very informative film called 'eating 3rd edition' (www.ravediet.com/whatsinfilm.html).

UPDATE! my wife and i are still juicing (3 years now!) but after 3 decades of searching, i finally found a superfood (not a drug) called lunasin, the worlds 1st epigenetic superfood! check out 'my story' at youtosuperyou.com !!

'Fat Sick and Nearly Dead'
as some of you may know, i've had health issues for most of my life,
well, i'm tired of being tired and may never change unless i do something about it!
the answer for me (i hope) is juicing...let me explain...my mom had cancer before she died--but did not die of cancer. mom had just discovered juicing was making the tumor shrink, but it was too late. i do not have cancer (that i know of) but like me, she had multiple ailments even though she was athletic most of her life...and looked great (even modeled til she was 39).
my wife and i just went to a juicing class where we watched 'fat sick and nearly dead' http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/. i'm hoping we can add ourselves to one of the testimonies !!
wish us luck (wife is doing this too) !!
will blog more about it later...
