Imagine you are Superman (or woman) growing up in Kansas. You have greater than usual abilities but how far do they go? What are your limits?

The only way to find out is to try. But when it comes to being bulletproof, that’s not an easy jump. No one’s ever been bulletproof before. Finding out might end you.

Your Superpower

First of all, you’re NOT bulletproof! You knew this but I just wanted to be clear. Don’t try this at home or anywhere else.

However, you are much stronger than daily life requires. You have reserves of strength and stamina that only a painful test would reveal. That sounds risky and ouchie. You could be super at something but what if you aren’t?

It Would Be Sad

It would be a waste to live your entire life without finding out. You could be settling for the life of Clark Kent when you could be Superman.

But you don’t want to take the figurative bullet and find out you were wrong. That would be considerably worse. And how often do you really need to be bulletproof anyway?

Super Mentor

Fortunately for us, we are not alone. We can find other people to guide us through Super School. There are people who have been there and earned their Super Wings.

They are all around us like Clark Kents, disguised as regular bumbling folks like us. They can show us how to fasten our bulletproof vest properly so it doesn’t get tangled in our cape.

Don’t you hate when that happens? You’re trying to be a hero for those you love and the thing keeps blowing over your head. Embarrassing.

Super Power Manual

That’s what I’m trying to do, to teach the things we learned when we went through our toughest times.

That’s why I’ve been working so hard on a Kickstarter for Candles In The Sun, the story of Suzie’s wild ride through multiple cancers.

I’m no Superman but Suzie just might be a super woman. I’m more like the cub reporter trying to tell the story. But I’ve met some super men and women along the way. Their stories should be told, their lessons shared.

Who knows, you just might be one of them.

Thanks for reading. More updates soon. I’m making progress.

Now, how do you get coffee rings out of a super cape?
