Life should be a series of adventures and misadventures launched from a firm foundation. The strongest and best foundations, if not maintained, will eventually crack and leak and crumble.

This book is intended to be just one tool in the construction and maintenance of your launchpad. From age through wisdom and every step along the way, this book is not the final answer but merely a place to start asking questions and developing your answers.

This gift of life is an awesome gift. It''s my prayer that you wholly embrace it.
