Substance Abuse Destroys Lives: But There is Hope with Treatment Wendell Price, at a Martha's Vineyard restaurant with Patricia Price, not shown Substance abuse and addiction destroy lives indiscriminately. For Wendell Price, it all started at the tender age of thirteen. His uncle offered him an opportunity to escape the house and go cruising in his canary yellow 1972 Datsun 240Z. He remembers taking his first sip of Budweiser beer, not realizing his life would never be the same. “I was going on rides with my uncle and just cruising around the parks and going off to the beaches, and it all started sociably drinking with my uncle,” Wendell says. “I was so grateful to get out of the house.” For him, it was an escape from his six brothers and sisters at home. He was the oldest in a house filled with more laughter and drama than the Good Times television show.

The ‘Believer’ Rebuilds Lives Through Counseling  Shantelle Jacobs, Founder & CEO, Pure Mind Counseling & Wellness Kanye West’s song Come to Life begins with “My soul cries out Hallelujah, and I thank God for saving me.” Shantelle Jacobs relates to the lyrics as a believer, not just in her ability to lead her fledgling business, Pure Mind Counseling & Wellness, but in the power of God to show her his plan for her life. Shantelle’s beliefs keep her on a path of service like a train on the tracks. She doesn’t want to be a perfectionist because the licensed counselor knows the illusion of perfection can be the enemy and make life heavy. With this knowledge, she is intent on saving us from ourselves. Former Atlanta Hawks Cheerleader Now Roots for the Family Business Tiffany Ryland, Associate Director, ARVO Realty Advisors Tiffany Ryland knows how to get on the biggest stages and is used to people scrutinizing her every move—and appearance. When she was an Atlanta Hawks cheerleader during the 2014-2015 NBA season, she performed in front of thousands of people. The job was to entertain, and she says, “being an Atlanta Hawk was phenomenal!” But never did she imagine that cheerleading would be the foundation that would prepare her for life. The Atlanta sports scene would have a magnetic pull on her orbit. After graduating in 2011 from Clark Atlanta University with a degree in Marketing and International Business, Tiffany was not interested in working full-time for the family’s real estate business. |
