I remember my first dedication I was to write. My heart was so full of gratitude. Gratitude that I was able to finally complete amidst all the distractions. Thankful and amazed of the tremendous encouragement from those who believed and trusted that my book could somehow make a positive difference to someone—somewhere. I had written, “when I first had thoughts of my dedication, the song This is Dedicated to the One I Love kept popping up in the recesses of my mind.” I knew my book was written from the heart with love, appreciation and determination also, to convey a story of strength and courage, inspiration through important information that would encourage reflection to awaken “even to reawaken” the real reason and purpose. I still want to add “To the Ones I Love” and always in my thoughts and heart— family and friends, old friends and new friends too. Once again, I will say thanks to those who are willing to take a stand when times are difficult. To those who defy the odds when others dare not. To speak the truths when the truths are buried and forgotten, yet recognizing the importance of the truths to be spoken, heard and addressed for understanding. We can’t build our houses on shaky grounds. Problems should be disclosed to prevent the rude awakening of too many man made problems. In respect, we need unity in our goals, transparency in our actions and our transactions. Our intentions need to be honorable to have a strong foundation. We all have a reason for being—that is greater than we know or understand. When we realize the magnitude of our purpose—working together in unity, then we are working for the good of all.
