FROM CRUMBS TO CLARITY
Stop Begging and Start Building

Lorrie Hellcat Bamford, and yes, Hellcat is her legal middle name, was born and raised 1 of 11 children in Dallas, Texas. Lorrie overcame her circumstances of adversity - learning, over time, to use her moments of resilience to build confidence and hope one thought and one action at a time. One of the lessons learned in her journey to confidence was to stop begging for crumbs from a table where you don’t even like what they’re serving. Lorrie’s stories of resilience, loss, growth, change, and perspective will take you on a journey of building your own table and learning to stop begging for the attention, respect, relationship, support, and sometimes even a mere acknowledgment from people, who, at their core, you don’t even really like what they’re about and what they’re serving.
