    About this ebook

    Life is real. It has its bends in the road, it twists and turns, and you take it as it comes, one day at a time. You learn as you go, building on whatever was previous, and you make decisions as you go along life’s course. Just as each person is different from other people, so is their life’s course different. Even though there can be parallels, no one path is the same, and so it is that we all travel alone.
