DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to both of my parents Gladstone and Doreen, who were teenagers when they decided to bring a child into the world…a child who (unbeknownst to them) would help shift the consciousness of parenting some fifty years later. Your courage to give birth to me at such a critical time in your lives is truly appreciated.

Thank You!
