The content of the book is all true. It is easy to look back and see the pattern of how your life occurrences go after they happen. If you are not careful, you might learn something after reading how my life was impacted. This could and will happen to you also. If you think there is any way possible that if you believe and speak out loud that someone is listening, you are 100 percent correct. You do not have to believe me; the easiest, most positive way is to believe for yourself. You do not have to change anything; just as you are yourself, ask questions.

If you're not careful, there might possibly be a miracle or so with your name on it. When you wake up tomorrow morning, remember Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE). May the faith be with you.
