When I was a little girl my mom used to read stories to me and my brother Anthony. Stories are great for the imagination and it is great for their developing minds. My stories teach about friendship, the importance of friendship and its loyalty. They also teach of family and that they will always be there for you even when you make mistakes. I hope these short stories that I have created leave a great impression on your child(ren).

This is a book that teaches the basic of the Catholic faith. I encourage you to buy a rosary and read along to say your daily rosary with it. The rosary has always kept my faith strong, I say one a day. The Old Testament speaks of the 10 commandments and we still use it today, that's why we are called Judeo-Christians. The Beatitudes was Jesus' new way to be, the Be Attitudes to go to heaven. The Way of the Cross was Jesus' journey of suffering to His crucifixion and death. At each station we ponder Jesus' message for us as we journey with Him. All these bring you closer to your Catholic faith and knowing God.

Life is about sacrifice and Jesus taught us through His sacrifice that we are all worthy of heaven. Here is an introduction to the Catholic faith. I used to be a catechist and got inspired to write my own catechism book that's easy to understand for anyone aged 10 years and older. Inside you will learn about saints, prophets, about Jesus in the Old Testament and the New Testament, his Mother Mary and our Mother as well, and His father Joseph as well as the Holy Family and how they can help us today. Faith is a journey and I hope you'd like to start your journey with me in this book and grow in your faith.

We met at World Youth Day (WYD) Toronto with the late Pope John Paul 2 in 2002. It was the only time in my life that I felt heaven on earth. People from all over the world sharing their Catholic faith altogether, and we met among those people. The people made Canada alive and rich with laughter and love. We coincidently met there but both came from Montreal, Quebec, Canada and were going to the same school in August Dawson College. It was a destined meet. He changed my life from then on. He will always be my forever love.

Lord, you are Great! And in your Greatness I'd like to praise thee. You have always been by my side throughout the ups and downs f my life. You are my strength and I long to see you one day in Heaven. My poetries are a symbol of my love and admiration for you. May others come closer to you because of my poetries and songs. There's no music to the songs but you can create it with your imagaination. Thank you for choosing my book and may it bring you closer to God.

I've been writing poetry since I was small, back in St.Michael elementary school. They taught us to write and to rhyme our words. I used to love haikus. I didn't do any haikus this time but who knows the future. I find the soul guides the pen to write what it feels. Poetry is an expression of emotions through words. Everything can be poetic just write your feelings. I hope you discover your inner poet too.

I've already written the book Turning Water into Soup and now I'd like to publish my poetries. I'd love to share with the world my love for Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God. I remember WYD 2002 when the late Saint Pope John Paul 2 came to Toronto, Canada and joined over a million Catholics and helped us pray together and strengthen our faith. It was a life changing time for me then. This book is for any age and my hope is that you praise the Lord too.

I am welcoming you to my home and to my passion for cooking. There are a variety of soups from different cuisines in this book. Hopefully I will help you bring delicious soups to your table and I hope you'll enjoy making them as much as I did. Buon Appetito!
