I want to dedicate this book to all the men and women who have inspired me to be hopeful, sometimes in the face of very difficult circumstances. Without the hope I have been blessed with, I would not be able to pass it on to others. Thats the beauty of hope. To keep it, we must be willing to give it away to those who are looking to us. In this way, the circle is made whole.
Hope arouses, as nothing else can arouse, a passion for the possible.
