We are all experiencing "CONNECTIONS" which enriches our lives!! We are blessed by our families, careers, relationships and challenges. Our connections expand our horizons personally and professionally. As a multi-disciplinary Professor and Ordained Minister, I continue to learn the exciting "connections" with a wide range of people including friends, family, students, global colleagues and new experiences. While engaging in relationships, many facets of growth emerge. Global relationships occur when we travel, watch television, and pursue our professional opportunities. This book helps to expand the benefits by being open to engage in wide varieties of people and places. CONNECTING hopefully invites you as readers to enlarge your awareness of opportunities to open new doors. Both young and maturing persons will discover avenues of growth, service and relationships.

This author invites readers to share their impressions for others to engage in making connections in their communities, families, careers potentials and challenges.
