About the Book

The purpose of this writing is to inspire positive aging in your life. At age eighty-eight, I have pushed through and lived difficult personal situations that have threatened to destroy me and change my beliefs. Despite the heartbreak, defeats, and disappointments, I have made a conscious choice to choose acceptance and love. My strong faith has helped me believe I could listen with love. The gratitude I have learned prompts me to share my thoughts with you today. It is my prayer as well as my hope that you will choose to release your ego and willingly open your heart to what love wants you to know.
