Footprints are a series of personal experiences, family stories, events I have had the great fortune to experience, and the people I have met. Our values, beliefs, and the resulting actions are rooted in our experiences, the many people we meet, and told in a first person narrative. Three Christmases is the first published short story in the journey of life, Footprints. Footprints are about laughter and tears and all the things that we experience as we move through life. Far from being perfect, I have had a blessed and charmed life, and the greatest of fortunes to have touched and been touched by so many fascinating people and experiences. Having been surrounded by so many positive thinkers I share Footprints as a resource to others to learn from mistakes made and from the insights and action of others who have added richness to my life.
