Dedication of this book to my daughters and the loyal friends that I have.

There had to be a way to move forward on one’s own and not be pushed around.  The unlocked doors I opened to enter were good and bad choices.  I have said that school is my safe place and I was able to complete a Doctorate late in life.  My three daughters have given me love and balance to keep me upright.  I share my writing in hope to give inspiration and a story to others.
