Since his passing, I have gradually become aware of the "help" I receive. The son of a friend asked one day, "How did you become aware of the synchronicities in your life?" He heard many of my stories and recognized the uniqueness of the tales. The question took me by surprise. How did I begin to recognize the timing that put me at the right place, at the right time, to either be helped or help someone else? I first became aware in Tracking Time, when my presence helped save my neighbors life. While writing To Pap, With Love, I recognized the guidance I received that prevented harm to my father. His Alzheimer's disease helped me to live in the present, not dwell on yesterday or concentrate on tomorrow. Along the way, I was "helped" by people and events. I was encouraged to stop worrying, to forgive myself for not being the person I expected myself to be, to trust I would have what I needed.

Book excerpt: For Phyllis Bivins, extreme poverty, hunger, and homelessness were just a part of growing up in 1960s Virginia. Her mother could only afford to raise her on a part-time basis, passing Phyllis around to family members and friends while seeking whatever work was fitting for a woman with a sixth-grade education. Some of the impromptu foster homes were nicer than others, but they didn't quell the revulsions that constantly tormented her from childhood into young adulthood-like the unspeakable horrors of repeated sexual abuse and domestic violence. While enduring the devastating traumas of poverty, abandonment, and abuse, Phyllis somehow found solace in her passionate love for education. School was her sanctuary, providing a relief that a life of pain and scarcity had stolen from her. The endearing words of her third-grade teacher implanted a seed of hope into Phyllis's heart that grew with her, even through her stepfather's savage beatings and an unexpected teen pregnancy. Phyllis was special, with a spirit too bold to be broken, and she was determined to carve out a path for herself that would lead her far away from the only life she'd ever known.
