Throughout my life, I have observed and pondered everyday events and experiences of my own and others. I have read, listened to, and pondered there deeper meaning as I engaged in this process I learned many valuable principles that could be applied to various everyday life circumstances.

As grandchildren came into my life I would tell them stories drawn from my life’s observations, my ponderings, and stories I had mentally gathered. My grandkids loved the stories and we would spend great amounts of time talking about them, their meaning and how the principles that they taught applied to their personal currant life, the struggles and concerns they were having.

One year I decided to write some of my stories, put them into a book format, and give them to each of my grandkids for Christmas. Sometime later I was pleasantly surprised to learn that some of my grandkids were using the principles taught in the stories in their personal life. In one case my granddaughter used a principle from one of the stories to promote a point in a class discussion in school. the teacher was so impressed she asked my granddaughter to share the entire story with the class. A friend whom I had given the stories to so she could read them to her young daughter told me she would use principles from the stories in teaching her daughter , such as asking “ which wolf are you feeding.” These experiences along with other feedback lead me to believe the stories contained in Power of Discovery would be a value and blessing in the lives of others. With this inspiration, I was motivated to publish and make available to everyone the Power of Discovery.
