acknowledgments & dedication
I would like to give special thanks to my wonderful editor Sarah
Laichas and designer Guy Kelly as well as everyone at F+W Media
who participated in the production and promotion of this book. Their
excitement and willingness to embrace my vision makes a project
such as this a true labor of love. In addition, I’d like to give thanks to
my husband Christopher, my daughter Michaela and my two cats
for their patience, understanding and assistance while I worked on
this year-long endeavor. Lastly, I would like to recognize the One who
always walks beside me in my journey, for I am forever His humble
and faithful steward (Matthew 25:23).
I dedicate this book to my two grandmothers, my mother and my
aunt for teaching me at an early age to embrace my creative spirit.
In the spirit of embracing a childlike vision, I also dedicate this book to
the other little fl owers who have graced my life: Lucia, Jacinta, Theresa
and Michaela. They inspire me to see the world with unobstructed
clarity, encouraging me always to play, experiment and explore new
ways to express and share my vision with others.
