You are an important part of my journey!! That's why I'm sharing some great news ... I've just published a book, "About Faces" and it is a proxy love letter to my late father who always dreamed of writing a book but was never able to put time aside to do it.

As part of my inspiration, you are part of this book.

I think you will be enlightened, entertained, and happy that you took the time to read it!!

Happy Spring!!
