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.
