I have found the true value of love not fear which builds these five key words to help ourselves and our children grow to be the best we can be.CONFIDENCE - to know who I am, to find my true identity.COURAGE- to make good choices for healthy outcomes.CREATIVITY- to discover my own skills and abilities to set goals in life.COMMUNICATION- to listen, learn to assertively articulate responses.COMMITMENT- to be complementary with a calm approach to work ethic.I invite you to search out the meaning of these words in the poems and illustrations in this book and I hope you will find God’s Gift of Grace, enjoyment and love from all creation around you.
