Dedication To all who have made a positive impact on the lives of others—mentors, parents, coaches, teachers, and dreamers.
Acknowledgment This book is a compilation of stories derived from personal experience. The people and characters are based on those who have touched my life. I offer my thanks to each of you by putting these teachings on paper and sharing them with others so they may learn from them. A special note of appreciation goes to God, for with Him all things are possible. In addition, I would like to acknowledge my presubmission editor, Pam Perry. She has given me much more than I could ever have asked by going the extra mile in offering her guidance, support, but most of all‌her friendship. Also, thank you Possibility Press for believing in me, sharing my passion, and for your creative and editorial work.
