Steve McQueen & my brush with fame

I danced for Steve McQueen( I was in 2nd grade ) which was thrilling at our Vinton Dogwood Festival. It was so exciting

Actor and driving enthusiast The “King Of Kool” Steve McQueen poses with his 1956 Jaguar XK-SS Roadster at his Brentwood home in June, 1966 in Los Angeles, California.

Of the many cars owned by actor Steve McQueen, this race-bred Jaguar was his favorite. He enjoyed driving the car fast and is reported to have received enough speeding tickets that his driver’s license was almost suspended twice during his first year of ownership. Unhappy with the original white paint and red interior, McQueen had the car repainted an appropriate British racing green and re-trimmed with black leather upholstery but despite the dismissive moniker, it remains one of the most desirable cars in the world with an estimated value around $30 million! thanks to both the model’s scarcity and the Steve McQueen coolness factor.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
