How to think of others before myself
How to use my manners

Hi Chris,

Thank You for honoring me highly! I love you and appreciate who you are!

Your destiny is determined and dynamic! You will be a World Shaker and a Destiny Changer! You have a heart that resonates with many in the "Fatherless" current generation of teenagers and twenty somethings!

You feel what they feel and they will listen to your heart of love and compassion!
