JOURNEY OF HOPE WITH RODNEY MATHERS » Journey of Hope With Rodney Mathers (100)          On this week's show we speak with author Rob Oliver. Rob was paralyzed from the chest down in a body surfing accident at age 21. Rob knows a great deal about using what we've got to overcome the adversarial situations we my encounter in our lives. Rob is a survivor and ex-offenders would do well to listen to what he has to say. In our discussion, I found many parallels to his struggles and mine as an ex-offender. Please join me this week for my discussion with Rob Oliver.

Hello everyone and welcome!

Miriam Goodman has written a book called Too Much Togetherness:Surviving Retirement As A Couple and when she contacted me about doing the show I initially thought it was a little off topic. However, I continued to consider it because I got to thinking that, hey, ex-offenders retire too!

In fact, I found this topic to be a very important part of an ex-offenders life. Whether we are talking about retirement in the near future or just the very beginning of planning, this is a fantastic episode of JOH!

Join me for my interview with author Miriam Goodman.
