Acknowledgements

Our God is an awesome God!!! Thank you Lord for this opportunity. Please allow me to always remain humble no matter what.

I would like to give a huge shout out to my laptop – LOL! You hung in there through my frustrations and endured my abuse and never gave up on me. When you decide on eternal rest, I will eulogize you and allow you to forever lie in state as a shadowbox display.

When it came time to sit down and write the acknowledgments, I struggled a bit, mainly because I didn’t want to forget anyone. I am fortunate to have so many people step up and support me throughout this process. While I have decided not to list each individual name, you know who you are, what you have done for me, and you can certainly expect something far greater as a token of my appreciation.

To my family, friends, the ladies of UrbanEdge Publishing, and to my editor – I say thank you, but with immeasurable feeling. The encouragement provided to me when I wanted to give up, I keep that with me. For every time you’ve shared this project with people you know, it has motivated me. For all of the help that has been offered to me without expecting anything in return, indescribable!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
