Having the acquaintance for much of the time Victoria has lived in the United States, and often sensing the wind of her emotions and sensitivities, I have through the magic of time and mutual struggles come to have affection for my friend Victoria, and I feel the same is within her of me. I cannot fully understand why a person enters my life; often it is a brief window of opportunity which if approached becomes a blessing, and sometimes it is a process - With Victoria and I both are true. I have sensed her pain, struggle and sadness, and the depth of hurt she has known and the profundity of her dreams - and her yearning to have freedom and security, and a sense of stability for herself and her family. She has toiled with the world, struggled with legal matters and a variety of human character and manner, yet she persevered and has known many victories.

The words within this book are her breath, her heart, and her tears - and here she reaches out that some persons may know a portion of her voyage. This is to my friend Victoria, and I know there is a smile from a Deeper Realm which recognizes her uniqueness and value, and though the world be difficult and challenging she always discovered a method to survive and learn, and maintain a sense of vision.

To those who have the fortune to read this book, I hope you will be inspired and motivated to improve oneself and all parts of our world daily encountered. By this there is purpose in struggle.
