Dedication

I dedicate this book

to all the dreamers and truth seekers,

to all the misfits and troublemakers,

to the movers and shakers,

to the lovers and the loners;

to everyone who has been called strange and weird,

loud and outspoken,

or someone somewhere sitting in the corner –

you inspire me – all of you, thank you.
