“The Past: Our cradle, not our prison; there is danger as well as appeal in its glamour. The past is for inspiration, not imitation, for continuation, not repetition.” ~ Israel Zangwill

“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you ifyou do not act upon them?” ~ Buddha

May I gratefully acknowledge the support of my loving family, dear friends, esteemed colleagues, and my many, many truly unbelievably gracious mentors, which includes each one of my clients—past and present. Words are inadequate to recount how ysyouve blessed me. q

This book is dedicated to the memory of one of the kindest men Ive ever known, Tony Coladonato. You are loved always, and missed hourly.
