Contemplation Letter From LeRoy We have exited volume four and it is my hope that you as the reader can see that you have to step out in front of your life. As you look back on your life as I have, you must see that you have been the one holding yourself back for your dreams and goals. It is you, just like it was and is me holding onto an invisible chain of defeat. When I lost my mom, I could not get on with what I wanted to do, but when the writings started, I could feel the release of pain. She did all she could for her children to make sure we had the basics. I wanted so much to repay her for that but success for me was hard, but I hope you don?t make the mistakes I made to get your dreams or goals off the ground. With the cover of volume, I began to see that I was remaking me?making myself into the man I wanted my mom to see. I needed to know that it is ok to cry when you lose someone. It is ok to say you are lost and need GOD to assist you to get you back on the journey you set out to do, but most of all it is ok to forgive yourself if you don?t get there. I now look at my journey as a spiritual quest with the same goals and dreams. I had to step beyond my pain and take the ?first step? to completing those things I told her I would do. As you review the covers and the back of the books, I want you to see that this is a journey we all take and along the way people come to meet you and want to assist in your travels. To Leo for giving the pictures to jump start the back of the book and the one on the back of this book to assist me in showing you life will always be filled with things you can not explain. To Connie for sharing what is and will always be apart of her SOUL and showing the world that our journey is the same?love is the merging of the SOUL with the life you live. I hope you all enjoyed this volume and I will bring the final installment to the world in 2015. Thank you in advance for going this far in with me.
