Author’s Acknowledgements
Life as a Leaf: Growing Integrity in Children would not have happened without the encouragement and support of Pam Kuhn, Sandra Milton, and my husband, John. I would also like to thank Sandra Williams of Williams Writing, Editing & Design for her patience and skill as an editor in understanding and clarifying what it was I was trying to say. I am also grateful for her beautiful book cover design and Web site layout.
Finally, I would like to thank my children, Kathryn, Sarah, and Ryan. Khalil Gibran wrote that our children are not our own, that they come through us but not from us, like arrows through a bow held steady to guide them to their mark. In my case, I can humbly say this has been reversed. It is my children that have steadied me, allowing me to hit a mark I could not have hit without them. I am truly blessed and honored to know them and to be able to share my life with them.
