Weeks before her twenty-eighth birthday, Snow White Bui quit her job and left everything she had built in Los Angeles, California to recalibrate the direction of her life. She realized she had strayed from the person she'd once been-a young woman in pursuit of knowledge and wisdom-in favor of career success and being cool. Spurred by news of the shooting of black parishioners at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, she decided to embark on an improvised, solitary journey to learn more about the history and people of the US. With her passion project, LESSONS FOR LIFE PROJECT, as a driving intention, Snow White engaged with Americans across twenty-five states, asking them to share their biggest life lessons. Not only did she learn from Americans' diverse lived experiences, she also discovered the richness of life that comes from embracing the humanity in ourselves and in each other. THE FREEDOM TO WONDER is an inspiring story about an Asian American woman's journey to connect with the heart of America.

Consequences stem from the choices we make. The results may come from exposures to socialization and enculturation. While these affects are sometimes good, at times we may need to re-address our views.We have a tendency to perceive our realities in similar ways due to repetition shared with our 'social institutions,' our language we speak, and our ever increasing diverse culture. Now is the time to employ the 'critical theory.' If we were taught that we cannot change the world, maybe together we can! There may be times when un-learning something can be as important as learning something new. The old cliche', "like father like son" may not necessarily be true. Always study your Bible, and always ask the Holy Spirit for guidance before acting upon any revelation during this journey of transformation and those journeys to follow. Write notes in your journals on the back pages of each chapter. Please join me in a prayer, and may God Bless each of you. Dear Lord, Please give me the power to openly declare that I am now free from the fears from Man and those fears from within. These fears have been a trap and pit for me most of my life here on earth. Please continue to give me the strength and needed knowledge to trust in and depend upon you, Lord. I put my confidence in you Lord God from here on. I am safe, special in your eyes, and ready to seek eternity on high with you Lord. In Jesus name we pray, amen.Patrick Bruner
