This book is a compilation of the ideas, poems, sketches that have been created to remind me of the blessings all around me and us all. A reminder that we are not alone on this path called Life.... we are family, if we will take courage and reach outside of ourselves and our comfort zone. Life requires our participation, it is not meant to be lived on the sidelines. Hope is as near as we will allow it to be and will give us the strength to look forward to "what's next". I believe there is a supreme being who knows all and is powerful beyond limit.... that this being is love. I love the scriptures and find them to be the ultimate life guide, if we can come to the truth of we are not all knowing and need each other to succeed in this journey. I know that our attitude determines our altitude/growth. A positive attitude can take us to worlds unknown. There is joy within our reach if we would ignore our self created "reality".
