AUDIO: "I'm not mad anymore", Introduction

Introduction 

Hi! Thanks for reading or listening to my story right now, I really appreciate it.

Everything I share here, is true.

In 1979, on the way to the grocery store on a Saturday morning, a drunk driver paralyzed my baby, Laura Lamb, from the neck down. Laura was just five months old.

I worked with Candy Lightner and Bill Bronrott to help launch MADD, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, in 1980. Our goal: end the maiming and killing of innocent people by drunk drivers.

For a while, Candy was the president of MADD, and I was the vice-president. And my daughter, Laura Lamb, was part of the fuel that helped to launch MADD into the national spotlight. That’s because Laura was a visual; a living, sweet-looking, and smart little girl, who did not move. 

Laura was a glaring reminder of the 800 people injured by drunk drivers every day.

However these stories are about more than MADD or perseverance, or a hatred that eats you, every day.

These stories are also about earthquakes and romance, passion and my three husbands, fishing and hunting and hootin’ it up with my family and friends. 

There are some cool as hell spiritual stories here, too, the kind that feel like goosebumps on the brain, and make your arm hair stand on end. The kind of story that’s hard to believe, but I know it’s true!

These stories are sometimes incongruous; surreal yet logical, spiritual and profane, embracing both the good parts and the bad parts. 

And the wonderfully exuberant, titillating, and funny parts, too!

Thank you so much for being here.

Love,

Cindi
