To my husband for his patience and support. To my son who tolerated his always busy mom and Shola who provided valuable comments and edits to this book.
A bit about the second edition
Over the last two years or so I have been growing stronger, learning more, being more creative and seeking support from those who have been there. This has helped me a lot to be less afraid and to develop something that I have started in this eBook.
Thank you for those kind professionals who have emailed me, sent encouraging letters and read all my newsletters.
