Introduction

I want to welcome and thank you all who are reading this my first book. As you begin to read, you will notice that my writing style varies. This is because I wrote the way I felt at the time of the experience or thought I was having.

My inspiration for these writings came from the different times and from the people that effected my life.

It was not my intent to write a spiritual book, although spirituality is all through it. Some even have biblical passages and influences; for this I make no apology. However, it is my hope that someone would be helped, enlighten, motivated or at very least find the writings very interesting.

Once again, welcome and thanks for reading.
