Well, folks, get ready to meet the soon-to-be 62-year-old legend – that’s me, Rob Lee. I’ve danced through life with the grace of a cat on roller skates, bouncing back from everything like a resilient rubber ball. Aquarius, of course, because why settle for a regular old star sign?
Picture this: seven-year-old me, celebrating my birthday in a hospital bed, courtesy of some boiling water shenanigans. Thanks, universe. Shoutout to the folks, Ann Ell and Tommy, and the grandparents next door who gave me those priceless life lessons.
So, Bible college was the plan – dreams of becoming a rockstar music and youth minister. But life’s like, “Hold my coffee,” and boom, I’m in police work for 15 years. Because what screams “ministerial calling” more than a badge and handcuffs?
Then there’s the demolition detour – blowing stuff up for a living. Naturally, I end up in a call center, where I went from newbie to manager faster than you can say “hold music.” Eight years, several locations (including places with sunnier names), and a stint in debt collection followed. Because nothing says “kindness and negotiation” like debt, right?
Then, in a stroke of entrepreneurial genius, I co-founded Tiki Ophthalmic Services with the ex-husband of an ex-girlfriend. Oh, the drama! But hey, business thrived, and we’re still buddies. Single dad with a GED at 50, I decided to collect degrees like Pokemon cards. Got that Master’s in Social Work at 57, because why not?
Fast forward to now – an ordained minister, offering life coaching and spiritual guidance. Reiki, energy healing, sound healing – I’m basically a one-man band. Oh, and don’t forget the tarot readings. My blog’s a wild ride, sharing stories that’ll make you laugh, cry, and possibly question your life choices.
I even spill the beans on my divine connection – yup, I’m talking God. Sure, I get a bit preachy, but hey, it’s all in good spirit. Drop a comment or question, and stay tuned for the newsletter. Let’s make this journey even crazier together!
