Where Are they Now?

Black Sheep, Joe Charogoff

I was born in Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1977. I am the youngest of five children; I have two older brothers and two older sisters. We moved around quite a bit when I was a child. I mainly grew up in New Jersey and Michigan however. When I was a young boy, about five, I experienced fairly serious brain trauma. This incident, along with a medication I was prescribed for it, led to some notable changes to my mentality and social standing. All of the biological effects the fall ended up causing paled in comparison to the social effect it had on me.

The Silver Lining Healer, Charlotte

I am a Healer, an author, a believer in finding your truth even when you don’t believe you know how or where to begin. I have had many experiences and they have all allowed for me to go within in such a deeper way. I want to help people know that they have the power, strength, support, love all around them and that all they truly need is to find that wisdom that might have been buried under mists of dust over the years. To trust that they are not alone, to believe that everything they go through, or have gone through matters, right or “wrong”. It is done so you can learn to help others to heal.
