Acknowledgments
First and foremost, I must acknowledge God. I believe that God is Omnipresent; I believe that God is good and God resides within each of us.
This book is dedicated to two of my exceptional friends who are no longer in this physical world, though they have touched my life and taught me about the value of relationships.
My aunt, Shirley Roberts, has blessed me with her loyalty and wisdom. Though not related by blood, we choose to be family and to be in each other’s lives. Our experiences together created many wonderful memories and her courageous spirit lives in my heart.
The second is my beloved friend of twenty-five years, Tad Emery. We spent endless hours talking about life, relationships, and God. Tad’s life was an example that miracles do happen. He touched my life in so many ways; I can truly say I have been touched by an angel. He will never be forgotten.
The biggest blessing in my life has been my son, Arturo D. Chavez. Experiencing his unconditional love as a mother has allowed me to experience the joys of happiness and ultimate fulfillment.
As a mother, I am proud of the man he has become. Arturo is intelligent, compassionate, and lives his life with integrity. He has character, is handsome, and can light up a room with his million-dollar smile. Keep smiling.
I also want to give a special thank you to my friend Shawn G. He is the person who gave me the idea for this book because he thought I had a great perspective about relationships. With that suggestion, I meditated; when I woke the next morning, I had the outline for the book. Shawn, you are a very special person, and the differences we both bring to our friendship have made our conversations interesting and thought provoking. I am happy that you have found that sane relationship in your life! I wish you and your family a lifetime of love and happiness.
While on my spiritual journey, I had the good fortune to find the Agape International Spiritual Center (Agape) under the leadership of Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith. Attending services and classes at Agape has enriched my life. Agape has taught me to say yes to the universe.
As an expression of my gratitude to Agape, a percentage of my proceeds will be donated to the Agape Youth Ministry program. Investing in our youth is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. I believe that it is the responsibility of a leader to turn around and help the next generation.
I send a big hug to Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith. Your wisdom and teachings have guided me on a path of spiritual empowerment, which has enhanced all areas of my life. The music at Agape has lifted my soul. Rickie Byars Beckwith and the Agage International Choir have allowed my spirit to soar. Once I found Agape, my life was changed forever. I have also committed to donate a percentage of my royalties to the i.am angel foundation. will.i.am is not only a musical genius but is making a positive difference on this planet.
