“To laugh often and much; to win the respect

breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I’ve been blessed to have many friends
cross my path in life who encouraged me
and made positive impacts and improvements
on my life to push me forward.
God uses our ups and downs to make us
better, if we allow Him to chisel us into the
person He wants us to be. I’ve also been
blessed with three children who make me
proud every day.
