Opening this book will give you a glimpse into my colorful life

In all that I am, all that you are, all that we can be together, words will create our dreams. I dream of a world united for my children. A place where judgment does not exist, color is embraced and disabilities are celebrated. Every difference is a colorful crayon we will use to color the picture we call our future. Draw your dream, paint your dream, write your dream, just never give up on your dream. Your dream is going to change the future. If you touch just one, you have made a difference. Live your way, be unique, do what nobody ever thought you could or would.

Elizabeth was raised in Beavercreek, Oregon, in the tight-knit community of Clarkes. “I was taught to believe I could become anything I wanted to be. I have the most amazing family. I am a twenty-year Navy Veteran, single mother of seven and I have traveled the world. I never thought about publishing my book until a fellow veteran, great friend, and current co-worker pushed me to overcome my fears and helped me to share my words.”
