One Year To Change

Kalianna

This year of 2010 has been a very challenging year for Jan and me.  The first disappointment was that on December 31, 2009 my most enjoyable business

officially closed.  We had completed 18 years of professional photography where

I did not want to close, but due to changes it became necessary.  This was my third career to end, the one I enjoyed the most.  I think the hardest part was realizing that my age was getting on up there and that my body demanded that I cut back on the stress.  So, I had planned to do some part time work, as Mitch and not under the professional business name.  It was very good until June of 2010.  I kept thinking that I was having acid reflux but  the pain in my chest and across my shoulders became more and more severe and my strength went away.  Mrs. Jan kept an eagle eye on me, ready to dial 911 at any minute.   So one night she said,

It is getting time to get checked out, are you ready?  I said no, however I did tell her to get me in to see the Nurse Dr.’s assistant.  She ran an EKG left the room, and in came my Doctor on the fly, saying “Mitch you are going to the Cardiologist

right now!    She then showed me the EKG, and explained that something was very wrong.  That began the process of many tests and scheduling for open heart surgery.  So on June 16 and a four bypass, my life totally changed.  The medical people did not prepare me for the emotional and mental changes, so after a good physically healing, I had to start being treated for the emotional and mental health.  One good thing is that I am walking 30 to 40 minutes 5 days a week, where Mrs. Jan joins me, and we both are enjoying the time of doing something together.  Oh! I said all that just to share that on June 15^th 2010 I retired for my health.

So what does a man do in retirement?  Well, this one is learning to take it easy, while I continue to do network marketing.  Yes, I am with AlixaMax Worldwide Networking Marketing Opportunity.  You are welcome to go to my capture page http://tinyurl.com/2g85avb  and look over the details!

From time to time I will be posting some of my nature photography for anyone’s pleasure.    You are welcome to befriend me by sending an email to:  mitch@mjdhomebus.com

Twin Visions Is Mitch DeCanter

Mitch DeCanter – so often I have wanted to know who I am. Now at 65 years old, I think I am about to accept myself, thanks to some very important friends. I believe it is better to go back over some of my history, that will tell who I am, and perhaps you will begin to understand why I do not think of myself as normal.
I was born in 1944, during a great world war, in Gainsville Fl. My mom had followed my dad to Gainsville to be near him while he started his military adventure. Three weeks after my birth, Mom went back to Mississippi, in the rural country near Potts Camp Mississippi. When Dad came back from the Army, we lived in several areas of North Mississippi.
I was honored to become the first DeCanter to graduate from High School, due to my Mom’s support and encouragement. It seems that I believed that I was dumb, and was conditioned to believe that I would never be anything of Value. However, deep down I knew that I was not dumb, but did not know how to prove it. I made a decisive decision my last year of High School. I knew that I could not make it through college and that I did not have the income to have a college life. I enlisted into the USAF with the dream of becoming someone. I wanted to make my Mom proud of me.
The medical professionals in the USAF discovered that I had a reading deficiency, I am dyslexic, so they taught me how to read. I went to college and carried a 4.0 average. However, I do have to read more critically than most, so when I study I do tend to learn more.
Along the way, I met the most wonderful spouse in Newcastle Wyo, Ms. Jan has traveled with me in “This thing called life” for more that 44 years. We have two daughters living in Ohio.
After I retired from the USAF, I worked in the State of Arkansas with the Public Service Commissioner, I moved to Ohio and did field engineering, then moved back to Mississippi, where I opened my own professional photography studio. At the age of 49, I accepted myself, admitted that I am an artists, and started liking myself. My logo is “Touching lives through the Art of Photography” because I like to encourage people.
While I am slowing down with the photography work, I am doing work from my home business. I am not about hype and false hope, but rather I develop RELATIONSHIPS AND FRIENDSHIPS, we then encourage and help each other as we market and work out business. I do provide training and mentoring to anyone will to work hard and stick with it to becoming a successful home based business person.
