    About this ebook

    This book has been created to delight, encourage, strengthen, entertain, but above all inspire some type of positive change. It is my desire to invoke a need to share something good within this construct, create the basis for looking inward and perhaps adjusting self or spark in you the need to share something romantic or uplifting with someone else. I thank you for your timeenjoy.
