So many people have had a positive influence on my life, most importantly is my best friend Jesus, who is represented as Trust Love in my books. I dedicate this book to Him, and to all of the following people:

My loving and beautiful wife Christiane inspires me always. Honey you will “Always Be Beautiful in My Eyes.” You are my Baby Doll, and I love you with all of my heart.

Life is the most wonderful place to live. Loving, caring, and sharing allow us all to have a positive impact on the lives of others. Lead by example, and always “Do the Right Thing.” Respecting and protecting all life is our duty and our legacy.

Trust in the Power of Love
