Acknowledgements

My children, both of you have been awesome kids and have supported me a great deal while I was writing this book. You have given up lots of personal time with me and made sure I was on task and sticking to my deadlines. I knew that once I enrolled the two of you with my goals, there was no turning back; indeed, you are the best executive assistants a mother like me could have.

To my son, Brendan, you are my hero; you have given me strength in my darkest moments and have been my motivation ever since the passing of mom, to keep on improving and reaching for greater accomplishments. As my firstborn, I had no choice but to grow up. You have taught me love, patience, and a great deal of discipline. You deserve the absolute BEST!

To my beautiful daughter Brianna, you are such a smart, intelligent, and mini version of me, only bolder. I am truly inspired by you, and I admire every fiber of your being: from how confident, fearless, and outspoken you are, to your persistence and determination, and your dream and goal of becoming a U.S. Olympic gymnast. Go for the gold, baby girl—THE SKY’S THE LIMIT!

To my mentor and coach, Raymond Aaron, you were heavensent, to give me that nudge to step out of the sea of sameness, and into my purpose and greatness, to now be a published author.

To my grandparents (late): Ira George Nicely, for your fatherly advice and for always loving and believing in me, and for never judging me. You’ve always been my biggest cheerleader and supporter in everything I’ve done, and I know you are continuing to do so while in heaven. I love and miss you dearly. And (late) Kathleen Nicely, for always giving me motherly advice, and for your continuous support and conversations with me, ensuring that I remain focused on the things that matter the most in my life, and that I accomplish my dreams.
