Terry Gorley contacted the Star/Journal last week to tell us about how she is pledged to help change the world.
This vibrant and positive lady has been a member of the Together We Can Change The World Organization since 2007, and Terry says she feels “together people can make a difference, and make the world a better place”.
Below we have printed Terry’s story as she presented it to us. It is her personal journey of commitment to walk in support of the Together We Can Change The World annual walk held in Portland, Maine.
After talking to Terry though, this reporter feels that Terry Gorley has already made a huge step forward in changing the world. She tells she is bipolar, and was medicated for this condition until she “had a bad experience with one of my medications.”
“I said to my psychiatrist, and my doctor that I wanted them to take me off all meds,” said Terry, “They didn’t want to, but I took all of their recommended courses and read all of the literature. I got a good counsellor, and I weaned off the meds slowly. Just by going to the counsellor and learning different techniques I have been totally medication free since 1998.”
Terry lives with her husband Merv in Barriere, they have a daughter, three grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. She now shares her experiences and methods as a Personal Life Coach with others who want to improve their lives.
Terry writes on her website (www.worldchanger.ws) “I’ve always wanted to do something to help change the world. ...Being a world changer is about what I think, do, and write. ... I am special because I am me. I am an individual; there is no other exactly like me. I am responsible for me; for what I think and do. ... Understanding yourself is like sunshine on water. The brighter it shines the more it reflects – the more it reflects the brighter the sparkle.”
