I've stayed in the best Suites in the world, eaten at the best restaurants in the world, attended the wildest parties anywhere, and have had every car I ever wished for ... and to this day 12 years on, my favourite place and time in the world was;sharing a room for 5 weeks, travelling to a local meeting centre by minibus, drinking caffeine free coffee without my wallet, and with not a penny in my pocket, making calls only in the evening and seeing family and friends consistently once a week, at Life Works!!Always the image of a very traditional man's man, I cried the morning I was due to leave there, little did I know I would be back years later sharing my experience with the 'guests' and talking about the amazing life that it had shown me was available, possible and most importantly I deserved. My life works today, despite some of my best attempts to mess it up, it works... and this is the place that it all started.
