Dedication

This book is dedicated to my mother, Marian. Since I was a child you urged that I write more and I rebelled, thinking I had it all figured out, it is funny how these things come full circle. Thank you for always believing in me.

Although I did not think much of it back then, I find it oddly prophetic now considering the path of realization that led to the manifestation of this book. Thank you for saving it all this time. I love and appreciate you.

Frightened, cold, hungry and thirsty.

Running from someone that I see every day.

The journey to this conclusion, in relationship to Love and Sanity, has been a roller coaster ride that both began and ended with heartbreak, thus the theme selection.

During my lifetime, I have become a walking compilation of information. At the beginning of year 2018, I embarked on a journey that has allowed me to find the experience I needed to tie a lifetime of passive studying and four years of active studying on this specific area of need, into a translatable concept of healing that I
