INTRODUCTION

This book initially came to me after my husband’s heart attack and then subsequent surgery for peripheral artery disease in his legs in the summer of 2011.

I wanted to share the lessons I learned from the experience of going through this medical issue with my husband. Then I began to think about other things I have learned throughout my life so far, such as my mom’s death, my dad disapproval of my dating a man from a different race and also realizing importance of self-care when caring for a loved one.

I wanted to offer these lessons in written form as I am a lover of words. And I have always learned a lot from others’ experiences. My mission for this book is to provide hope and inspiration to others. I wanted to help others realize the important lessons life has to share with us every day and how you can learn and grow from these little gems. I am grateful for those things that happened in my life because they have led me to where I am today.

At the age of 40 I discovered my true life purpose to be an inspiration through my writing by help others realize their uniqueness and honor the experiences in their life. I wish for you to grow from these life lessons and share them so they might help others.
