"Always have faith in a higher power, and never give up on your dreams or settle for less then what you're worth. No matter what we are going through, we all have a duty to do our part to make sure that the future is safe for everyone.

Although tomorrow is not promised, we have a duty to love everyone each and everyday. Those going through pain, sorrow or just plain down on your luck, trust in a higher power and keep strong in your faith. The creator won't care what you call him. He just wants you to believe and trust in his word. My creator has guided me all the way in giving my readers this series and I can never thank him enough. 'Just because something is different does not mean we should fear it or ridicule it.'"
