Hi everybody, I'm Suji and I'm a grateful member of Alonon.

This morning I decided that I would, I don't know why, I would write out my story, I was

writing notes and I never do that.

And then at the end of it what I came up with is this is my story I cannot fail.

Let go and trust God will place in my heart the words to share with all of you and I'm

going with that plan.

I have never written anything out and I don't know what made me think that today should

be anything different.

I like the name of this convention, stand, what is it standing at a, standing at a turning

point.

Because I had a turning point last week, I turned 60.

And I've been celebrating all August, I don't just celebrate one day, I celebrate all.

And I'm very grateful to be able to stand here and say that I turned 60 because I was

somebody that thought I wasn't going to live past the age of 40.

And I really want to die by the time I was 40.

So it's a blessing each day I'm alive and it's a blessing that I celebrate at 60.

And in my mind I'm not 60 so I don't really care.
