Dedication

This book is dedicated to children worldwide, teenagers, and to adults who were once children themselves.

It is for children who desire to find a loving home and those who have a place to call home.

Open the door to your imagination and create something great, different, and colorful that will impact your life and touch the lives of others.

To the Children, enjoy your childhood and dream big!

It’s not about how we start this journey.

We must invest in how to finish well.

The victory we experience in the end is like a beautiful fragrance oil

that soothes the pain of the beginning.
