The road to change begins when we choose or we're forced to take a hard look at the way we're living. Change is never easy and never quick. No one is ever too broken, too scarred, or too far gone to change their life, and that is how these words came to be. To inspire, to share in your journey, to invite you into mine, and to say how much I believe in this program, in each

• f you, and what it is we're seeking by being here.
