Book Description
"Why am I here?" "What is my purpose?" "Would the world have been better or worse off if I hadn't been here?" Doubtless, I'm not the only one who's asked such questions. When I was really down, I even resented God for creating me, & prayed I wouldn't wake up the next morning! I reached out to God & friends through handwritten notes & poetry; that was the "safest" manner of expression. I can't think straight or verbally communicate effectively if I feel I'm being scrutinized; I'm sure I have company there too! So, at the request of friends, I'm publishing a sample of my writings. Don't worry, there's plenty of lighthearted subjects included too! I pray they will inspire, comfort, entertain & bless those who open these pages.

IF ONLY YOU BELIEVE I heard a rose can grow out of the concrete and a flower can bloom in the darkness, a fairy can ride a unicorn and a mermaid can bring laughter and happiness. They say you can be blind as a bat or as strong as an ox, you can live in a enchanted forest with dwarfs and dragons and save a beautiful princess with golden locks. Travel through space with aliens and robots, or sail the seven seas and fight pirates, gargoyles, or a cyclops. You can fly on a magic carpet and make a wish with a Genie in a lamp, converse with zeal around the fire at camp.

A mystique to mystify like Houdini with another trick up his sleeve but you can have anything if only you believe....................
