My Independence Report

After giving up on my dreams, I never expected a late-night movie to change everything. Watching “Rocky” reawakened a fire I thought was gone and sent me chasing a new dream inside a gritty Seattle boxing gym. What followed was a journey filled with pain, purpose, and one unforgettable fight inside the Monroe Reformatory. This true underdog story is for anyone who’s ever asked themselves, Why not me? From shattered bones to soul-deep clarity, this isn’t just a story about boxing. It’s about how I found my true purpose, even when it came wrapped in defeat. 🎬 Watch to the end for a life-changing realization. ❤️ Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more real stories. #BoxingStory #RockyInRealLife #NeverGiveUp

My new book, It’s Your Life, Isn’t It? paints a picture of how to look back at your past, analyze your present, and reimagine your future. It provides a way to assess your desires, your strengths, and weaknesses and to put these into a framework that will help you construct a more fulfilling lifestyle. The theme of the book is based on how to manage change. Throughout my lifelong career as an entrepreneur, as well as seminars I have attended, and countless ones I have conducted, in many parts of the world, I believe that I have a broad perspective. It openly discusses the successes as well as the failures, and the lessons learned from the achievements and the errors. Many of the life stories came from those programs, as well as the friendships I have been blessed with over the decades. – Beverly Kievman Copen   You can purchase It’s Your Life, Isn’t It?

AN ODYSSEY OF SURVIVAL AND GRACE Birthed into poverty and violence, my early life was one of extreme vulnerability. I spent long evenings in the spell of neon lights outside the military bases of my childhood where my mother picked up men. My mother prostituted me for the first time at age nine. I found refuge in the world of language, books, music, nature, and the world of Spirit. There were human angels who came into my life, each for a short time, with the face of compassion and whispers that left behind miraculous seeds of hope and the ability to reach out and past the unbearable circumstances of my life, again and again.    Institutionalized shortly after beginning college, I would not have survived if not for Sydney, a courageous nurse who fought for my release. When I first began this book, I searched for and then learned from her that the institution I was held in was conducting experimental research. My unwillingness to be compliant and take prescribed pills led to my commitment to the worst state hospital in the Illinois System. As I began writing this book, Sydney and I returned to Elgin State Hospital for a visit and conducted archival research. We discovered that throughout the Cold War our nation used thousands of vulnerable, unsuspecting citizens as research subjects: newborns, institutionalized children, African-Americans, Native Americans, prisoners, mental patients, and our own military. But this book is not just about surviving the impossible, it is about recovery of the soul, healing into wholeness, and the possibility of living a luminous life.
