Bristol, VA/TN. A city sitting directly on the border of two states. Tennessee and Virginia. This place is my close by to my hometown, Mendota, VA. When I was a kid and we "went to town", it was either to Bristol or Abingdon, VA. We were poor in terms of money. But rich in values, ethics, and spirit.
When I left Bristol nearly 25 years ago. I never looked back. I was in a sense running from what is was my past and towards what is now my future. Had anyone ever said to me at that time, or even 5 years ago that Bristol would be part of my future, I'd have probably laughed and shrugged it off as nonsense.
In the last few years a spark; an undying ember, has revived itself in my soul and now I own a home there, which I purchased without it being something in the family. I love my home there and one day soon, I hope to set up my new business there and operate it out of my home. That business would be a 501(c)(3) organization focusing on the plight of rural poor and the obstacles they face from childhood, adulthood, and as families. I hope to be able to make a contribution to make this socio-economic sitiuation better for underpriviledged folks in the future. I hope I can make it happen.
