Have you ever wondered why you are here on Earth? Does your life seem to be flashing by too fast, and you feel as if you are just doing the same thing day after day? I have wondered this, and through some remarkable blessings, I learned some answers. Each of us is on a journey. Through the ups and downs of that journey, we all end up with a story to share. It's a tale of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going. This book recounts the story I have been living for the past forty-five years. For many of those years, alcohol wrote my story for me. I was held captive by its addictive grip. My heart was closed to the greater purpose I was here to live. A tragedy helped open it, when I lost my niece to leukemia. Through all the trials, I came to know God and His meaning for my life as His child. He has a purpose for all of us. Every day is a gift, and there are so many lessons we can learn from. It's as simple as being humble enough to open our hearts.
