Foreword

In my daily interactions with people throughout my life,

together with all the positive and negative events that

have occured, the lessons and values I have learnt and

continue to learn, my own personal experiences and those

shared by others together with what I have read or heard

about locally and globally, created a burning desire in me

to add a voice of hope and advocacy.

The outcry of many for a deeper purpose and

meaning to life, have convinced me that no matter who we are:

our race, colour, religion, status or nationality etc., we are

character traits that can make us stronger, better and

hopeful. There are times in our lives when we can celebrate

and be thankful for the positive events and growth

and other times we need healing from negative emotions.

We need forgiveness , peace, courage, strength, resilience and hope

that can only come from hearts, minds,

thoughts and behaviours, that are
