We all seem to experience a moment in our life that brings back some sort of memory that makes you refl ect on that time. This book is that type of book where I refl ect on moments in my life that I felt were important to write about. Life has so many choices or decisions that sometimes you think back about some of them that were made or were not made. Think back to your favorite song, place to go, or just things you used to do when you were growing up. How does it make you feel when you think about them now? Think about the first time you had to deal with adversity where things didn't go so well. That is what life is all about and I wanted to put mine in a book. I am just like everyone in this world trying to make a difference in one way or another. When you read this book, realize that we all have a story to tell, you just have to be willing to tell it. We tell our stories everyday whether it is at the dinner table, out with friends, or to help your children deal with the growing pains as you did years earlier. What I hope you take from this story is that you can learn, laugh, or just relate from some of my experiences.
