Promises Kept - Deana McClain
Acknowledgments
The acknowledgments of this book or any of the chapters of this book or even the novella or memoir that are slowly written as time marches on forward. All of my gifts of words are truly dedicated to my very best friend in this entire lifetime of mine.
My best friend showed up out of nowhere one day standing before my very eyes.
She has taught me so much in this lifetime in such a short time. She has taught me what a truly unconditional, loving, caring best friend would do in life! She is absolutely the very spotlight of this book or series of books, and she is also a human being who knows how to love and knows how to enjoy every moment of the here and now—moments that are created by showing and sharing that true unconditional love for anyone.
She has a true gift of quick wit. She is in fact very brilliant. She is the flower of life. Her dad or her father or even her best friend, when she was still young and very impressionable instilled so much of himself into her. That through her, even though I have not met the man myself, I see the very essence of who he was. She is very down to earth, and with that being said, it gives her a very blessed and humble heart, and it shows. These words are all for you, Azita Mary. May your love and spotlight shine through all eternity by my side as we walk this life hand in hand as best friends.
The rest of this dedication will go to the following people in my life whose love and respect I was able to receive, and we have also been able to give each other in this course of life, and each one has shared with me the very moments of here and nows. To each of them, I give my daily prayers and lift them up in prayer asking for the Creator’s blessings to be upon each of them. Love y’all.

To the young woman who has captured my heart by showing and giving me the honor to know her and ask her for help to be my editor on all of my books and/or novella or memoir, to you, Shahrzad, I truly appreciate all your brilliant help. You are truly the image whom everyone should be like in this human life.

Life Changes
In life, after we have made that very free-will choice to come here and see if what we were given in the first place was fair from the Creator. We are born into that beautiful human body that will unfortunately go through all of life’s changes. We can touch on some of them just to illustrate what is being spoken on.
But here, let us back up a moment and rediscover where it was that we came from because this will help everyone better understand how life’s changes are taken.
When we were with the Creator, we had no differences whatsoever other than the Creator was and is all-knowledgeable, all-wisdom, all-understanding, all-eternity, all everything. He did create us for the sole purpose of love. And loving one another has never changed and never will through all eternity. Period.
In being here, the Creator created the first and the second human beings, and because of human error, he gave them names—not just a so-called human name but object names so that the very soul and spirit he brought to life in them.
So they would still be able to know how to communicate with him. When the Creator created this very earth and filled it with all of his enjoyment of beauty, he wanted to share that much free, unconditional love with us, even though we took the choice to come here. The earth existed and did not need change because the Creator is that perfect and that awesome. When placing us here, he still said even in this human body, Be as one.
The Creator did not want differences, but being humans, we began to think with our heads and not our hearts, and so changes occurred—changes from what was created perfect to and not-so-perfect place.
The secret place is still just that perfect for those of us who do reenter in.
I will try not to step on anyone’s toes even throughout the chapters of this book. It is not necessary. So I may throw myself under the bus so to speak to give some highlights that are in plain words. In that place of the very Creator’s existence, he gave us to one another to love; he gave us what we have named here as a soulmate, and unfortunately, the very description of a soulmate in the dictionary is not true. I can say this because the very blessed
