Message from Author

Message 1

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to make this world a better place.

Message 2

I choose gentleness....Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice, may it be only in my praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer, and if I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
