By reading our book, I hope you are inspired to go for love in every aspect of your life – to let go of your pain and fear – to embrace the power of love.
It is amazing! I hope that you don’t go another day without telling the people you love how much they mean to you and, best of all, spending as much time living life with them.

By reading our book, I want you to know that you are not alone. There is an end to the pain and the hurt that consumes you. There is hope even though I know sometimes it feels as if it’s so dark it will never find you. I have learned many lessons from my life journey, but most importantly, the past cannot be changed. It’s not until you accept what you have done and what has happened to you that you can begin to heal from it.

Today, I am twenty-seven years old; I work at a school as the Assistant Athletic Director. I teach PE and after-school sports to Middle School and High School students. In addition to working, I have created my own business to celebrate the blessing life gives us.
