In all of our lives, we face both tragedy and triumph. In my life, as
in most lives, I had experienced the ups and downs of life's
trampoline. Sometimes I retained my balance while other times I
tumbled and fell.

No matter what the obstacle, no matter what hurdle you've yet to
jump, you are not alone.

Inspired by forces greater than myself, taught by some of life's most
difficult lessons, caught in the eye of the hurricane, I know that I
am not alone, and it is because of this, I look to you.

You've so much to give. . . and most importantly, to yourself. Give
to yourself what you may have been denied. Give back to yourself what
you rightfully deserve. Remember, the world begins with you.

Something I wrote not so long ago: "I cannot carry the world on my
shoulders but on my shoulders it is my world that must carry me."

No matter how powerful the tragedy or triumph, how elastic the
trampoline - you have it within you to acheive the ultimate goal --
finding true happiness and purpose in your life. And when you do,
please share it with others... After all, whether it tragedy, triumph
or trampoline -each one of us, at one time or another, had
experienced its effects....
