I Remember Yesterday

I Remember Yesterday is an effort at reminding us that the past has a numerous lessons to be learned if we take the time to explore its content.

People we meet, things that we do, places we visit, pleasant and negative events that we experience—all are a part of the master plan in our lives that determine our destiny. So many lessons can be learned if we would only take the time to do so.

Events depicted in this effort are authentic and by no means a figment of the author’s imagination. They are convincing evidence that there is a guardian for each one of us that watches over us and on numerous occasions has led us from harm’s way. The role that we play during the cycle of life is important for all of us. Consider the numerous lives that we touch as we make our journey and the effect that we have on others.
