Then came a trip to Africa during the Congo revolutions in a small search and rescue plane with my pilot uncle. I faced imminent death four times and a girl I arranged to go on the other plane died. That started a 9-year downhill spiral.</em></p><p><em style=color: rgba(34 30 31 1)>           Back in the States it was one illness and surgery after another and two more knocks on death's door. Things got so bad I had a brick wall built in front of my New York City brownstone bedroom window without permission. My psychological report said: Stephen is in urgent need of help. He could self-destruct at any moment. My brother Michael had left home totally stressed out. When he returned for a visit a completely different person I was torn between jealousy and curiosity. I accepted an invite to visit him in Los Angeles. There the most shocking awakening happened. Instantly I felt amazing and knew: ALL IS WELL. And my illnesses were gone! </em></p><p><em style=color: rgba(34 30 31 1)>           Now what? When I begrudgingly accepted a restaurant server job I never expected it would lead to a successful career in hospitality and sales. I had opportunities to connect with top-of-the-world people. Life expanded in all areas as I learned to expect the unexpected along with swallowing my pride. A job associate once asked me How come things happen to you that don't happen to us?The answers are what this book is all about.</em></p><p><em style=color: rgba(34 30 31 1)>           All that and a happy marriage. Okay Becky proposed so who's perfect? During our 35th anniversary vow renewal I surprised her by proposing on one knee with a diamond ring as our family and friends cheered. She said YES!</em></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(34 30 31 1)>There are jewels in this book that can transform your life.</span></p>
