The Storytellers - Episode 05: Regina Pontes

When the reality of your life changes in an instant, how do you cope? When what you thought was the worst that could happen was just the first in a series of impossible challenges, how do you continue to see the best in yourself and others? From the loss of her twin brother to the loss of her physical health, Regina Pontes writes about her long road to realizing that at the heart of who we are in those times is our deepest faithin ourselves, in the hands of others, and in God.
Reginas lifelong pursuit of excellence in her life through liturgical music ministry and in the entertainment and R&D/DoD businesses will show you that while circumstances are ever-changing, the opportunity for life lessons learned is still an ever-present gift.
