The overarching theme of this collection is to be an encouragement by imparting the wisdom gleaned from others over a lifetime in the diligent pursuit of well done; and always remember to trust the Lord. Advice from my grandmother, parents, and community leaders will challenge every reader to reach for excellence. Maturity comes with age, but knowledge comes when we seek the Lord.
