      Dedication

      To all who struggle with mental health issues and disorders:

      Breathe in your tomorrow.

      Exhale your past.

      What is ahead of you

      is brighter than what you’ve surpassed.

                                                           ----Nancy E Reyes

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  

      Lord God, my Jesus, essentially and principally, I give You all the praise for who I am, and what my future is holding. You are THE reason for my strength in all my fears, and my direction when I am lost. Through prayer, I am always with You. I am never alone.
