It is the depth of an unfathomable love and great respect that I dedicate this book to my best friend, Diane. She happens by no mistake to also be my wife, my lover, my spiritual playmate, my cheerleader, and most important, my partner in life. By her example, she has taught me the sweetness of extending selfless service and loving-kindness to others, whether friends or strangers. This planet is a better place because of her presence here. Truly, God has blessed me beyond measure with the gift of this lady in my life, whom I will love forever.
