My wish for my book to be read with an open heart and mind is that it will instill a quest for more knowledge of the unspoken and unknown. That those questions will be answered and encouraged for understanding and enlightenment, for when those simple quests are recognized for their importance and honored, then we all can benefit from that knowledge. We all have a certain responsibility in life, that is, a gift instilled in all of us. For some, it has been buried or squelched, not allowing the best to come forth, either from ourselves or from others. When that happens, then we have a special challenge to conquer that fear or oppression; for to do nothing only perpetuates and eventually magnifies any problem creating an even larger quagmire. For this reason, I dedicate these writings to all women who have struggled against obstacles and uncertainties and have persevered for all humanity—to all the young mothers and not-so-young mothers to recognize the importance of a role that nurtures the mind and body and replenishes the heart in body and of the home . When I realized I would write a dedication, I would wake up in the morning with the song in my head, “This Is Dedicated to the One I Love.” I want to add “To the Ones I Love” and care so deeply about—family, children, the reason and purpose, dear friends, and new friends, who are unconditional, supportive, encouraging at times when needed, but will offer their abundance of insights and wisdom from their own experiences and journey. We learn from each other. I also want to dedicate this book to not just a few good men, for there are so many more who will surface when faced with obstacles that they have been thrust into. They will do so even they are unaware of the ramifications or consequences that will test them, and some men even when being aware of those that will be affected. In those times, the right and honorable decision and action will have to be made. Therefore, I write in the hope that women and men will unite to help bring a healthier, and brighter, future for our children and for all humanity.
