Brummet's Conscious Blog

Russel Vann, today's featured guest, was born in the South Bronx in the late sixties to a drug-addicted mother, who didn’t know who his father was. Russel's writing journey began as a form of therapy, but evolved over time to convey this concept to the world:   The current situation neither determines nor defines the final destination - you do.  Regardless of what a person has been through, or where they came from, Russel found that all of us are haunted by fears and worries, are longing love and acceptance, deal with heartbreaking disappointments and have mountainous challenges to climb.
