About Me, My Vision And My Hopes...

Most people pray for world peace.  As lovely and powerful a sentiment as this is, world peace is not a possibility until we individually choose to act.  As we begin to live peaceably in our own homes, schools and places of work; each person educating the next by the peaceful example they choose to set, peace becomes more attainable.

This book is a manual for those striving toward this noble goal.  By identifying a variety of abuses and offering suggestions for positive change, my hope is for peace to become a true reality.  Both violence and peace begin with the decision to act.  Which will you choose?

Donations will be made from the profits derived by the sale of this book to Providence House, a division of Catholic Charities.  In addition to this, you may elect to purchase one or more copies to be donated in your name, or the name of a loved one affected by domestic violence.  You may also choose to donate anonymously.  These books will be distributed to those in safe houses and support groups.

Please partner with me in supporting those trying to transition from abuse to happy, healthy and peaceful lives.  Peace is a possibility, one person at a time.  Thank you for your support!
