Peace is the presence of God in us, not the absence of conflict. I look for the beauty and listen to the melodious joyful music in creation. 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.
