An Invitation from the Author

Throughout this book, you are invited to become my companion; to take a journey of self-discovery with me over a period of the next few days or weeks.  You may simply read and take a mental journey, in which you allow your own memories to surface, or you may write along with me as I talk to you of life, joy, sadness, disappointment, love, choices and promises made, kept or broken.  Each page begins with a question designed to serve as a trigger for your own memories and personal growth.

The people with whom we share our lives change us.  We grow with each new experience.  Our wants and needs change as our lives expand to take our thinking and sense of purpose in new directions.  Early in life, some of us are lucky enough to feel a "calling:" others never experience that sense of calling, and they feel an empty spot in their hearts.  I hope that this book will help to fill that place in your heart that is longing for something you cannot name.

Do you desire to know yourself better?  Do you want to examine your choices from a different context, and take new paths in your life?  Or do you just need to reexamine where your life journey has taken you, so far?
Shall I take your hand and lead you, will you lead me, or will you choose a solitary journey into discovering whom you will become?  Any manner you choose to seek your path is the right means for you.
