Hello Friends! I'm Ready to Make My Case

It seems that I allowed myself to do what I tell others not to do, or, should I say, failed to do what I always tell others to do: I let myself get so busy that I forgot to stop and breathe and I didn't reach out to you this month.  

I've mainly been trying to stay out of the way. This place is still this place. It hasn't gotten any better, but it hasn't gotten any worse. The mentoring I’m doing is going as well as it can. Some of my little dudes actually listen, but everybody wants to be in Mr. Tyler’s class because they know I let them wiggle an extra phone call or jpay session. But the class is going good. I can finally relax as I am basically done with my paralegal course. I just need to put the finishing touches on the brief I must submit—and then I will be a certified paralegal. 

My plan (after I get out) is to try and work with the guys I left on death row and the elderly that are having so many problems legally and can't afford attorneys. 

I have also started a class to help me be a better mentor—Success Coaching and Mentoring. We have a really good teacher in Coach Marty, who played Pro Ball with the Atlanta Hawks back in the day. So I'm flowing. 

The good thing is today ends the RNC going on up in Cleveland--good because it marks the day the Attorneys will start to talk about filing the paper work to the Clemency Board. As we know the two years ended back in April, but we decided to wait and see what the governor would do in the race for President. And short of him announcing he is back in the race, we should be going forward with our plans now. 

I will need your help to get on my feet and get adjusted when I get home. Details will follow, but any thoughts you have about the support I will need with daily life, I would really appreciate it. I'm already thinking about how I want to spend my time.  

One of the things I will be looking forward to is submitting my proposal for helping our youth grow up in a better, healthier way. Would love to see that get off the ground. I am now watching our youth come into this prison bunches. Something has to take place to try and curb this. So once again I will be needing your prayers your thoughts and your support. My attorneys will be filing soon for the clemency hearing. And the governor will make the final determination if I am worthy to get back to a life cut short. 

I remain humbled as always... Love to all...Arthur...
