Book Synopsis
According to the Blueprint… We discover blessings in the journey!
When you are on the journey of the Blueprint the path is rarely straight!
But the beautiful mystery of uncertainty makes the scenery glorious!
The act of discovering who we are will force us to accept that we can go further than we think.
There is always more!
It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove.
See what you can do.
See what you want to do.
See what you are willing do about it.
Find your way through … The Blueprint!
AS JAY Z said.
“It’s all there,,,,, IN the BLUEPRINT!
To “HIS” life and Journey”
