Autorenporträt

As I come to the end of this book, I am reminded that life does not come with a built-in "Table of Contents." Life comes with challenges and opportunities, with crossroads and detours. Our role is to choose the path, to take the steps, and to design the map that will lead each of us to our journey's end. I am grateful for the opportunities I've had to step forward for others. I feel gratitude for those who heard my voice and so often followed my lead. I want this book to remind others that around every corner, life offers you an opportunity to take a hand, lift a spirit, warm a heart, touch a life. I hope you have felt my commitment to others in the causes I have championed.
