         For considerable years I had been writting and sharing inspirational stories to individuals subscribed to my mailing list. As the popularity of those stories grew, I started receiving appreciations (see back cover) as well as request to have the stories compiled, and that was my inspiration to publish this book. 
         If you take the sentiments expressed in this book to heart, you will undoubtedly enrich you ife and the lives of those around you. Looking for a book for all family to read together, that is fun, witty and holistic? Try this one; you will not regret it.
