DEDICATED TO MY SISTER:
MARIE NICOLE BOADU

“We don’t look, act, or
dress alike. We all have
different tastes when
it comes to food, cars,
books and music. We
work at different
jobs, enjoy different
hobbies but the
one thing that
we ALL have in
common is that;
“Suffering Is
Universal.”
T
HEREFORE, we
all know what it
means to hurt & to
be fearful. Pain &
Fear are the same for Jews,
Muslims, Christians, Blacks,
Whites, Children, Adults and
the Elderly.
When life hurts and our dreams
fade we express our anguish in
different ways, but we all know
and have experienced the sting of
pain, heartache, disease, disasters,
trials and suffering.
If you venture off to build a business
targeted to help bring healing to those
who are suffering; you will always have
customers, because there’s a few
broken hearts in every group.
Fear always presents itself much
bigger than it really is. It’s always the
worst-case scenario. It always tries to
get us worried, anxious, uptight and
panicked.
Fear’s goal is to separate us
from God by trying to get
us to doubt His Word.
But when the spirit of
fear comes, we need to
recognize that it has no
power unless we give it
power.
A famous poet once wrote;
“Solitude” - “Laugh, and
the world laughs with you;
WEEP, and you weep alone.”
Another poet said;
“We laugh, play and celebrate
together… WHY is it so difficult
to cry together?”

possibility of losing my closest
