My friend, Susan, describing what this book is about- "The stories will inspire you...give you pause to contemplate your fingerprints on the lives of those you love." I appreciate her words and trust she is right. In the telling of these tales, I truly do want to inspire you, nudge you closer to your best self. She believes I will leave some valuable fingerprints on your life when you read this book. That was and is my intent. So, here are some of my adventures and observations- lessons learned, insight gained, most of the scars healed, sweet wonder remembered. Looking at it as best I can through eyes of time and God, it has been remarkable. Here's your part. Find your favorite spot for reading. Take it a story at a time, allowing for some after-thinking- evaluation, application, maybe even some notes. If Susan is right (and she usually is), the book will help you see something remarkable in your life, in your stories, and in the fingerprints you will leave on the hearts of others.
