They do this in such a selfless way; to be able to help and teach others through their own personal journey, so that we the readers, can learn, grow and shift our mindsets. Even if just one of these stories can touch someone’s life, to educate or awaken another to be grateful for what they have, to become a better person, or to shift their mindset in a positive way - then we have all achieved our outcome. We can change the world one story at a time. The honesty, vulnerability, courage and generosity shared by the YSHIFT authors in this extraordinary book of true stories is truly inspirational. Thank you to my family and friends and my beautiful daughters Chloe and Monique for all their love and support. A special thank you to my amazing husband Michael who has always believed in me and my dreams and supported me in more ways that one could ever image. Sincere thanks to an amazing team of people who have helped this dream come to life, Natalie, Darren, Eugene, Derek, Katie, Mauraid, Matt Jasper, Dale Beaumont and all their supporting teams. A special thank you to Michael Hanson (www.humanizeyou.com) who brought my story to life through film and to the beautiful Aroha Moore who plays the little star feature role and the lovely street artist who allowed us to film her. To all the readers and YSHIFT members who all play a vital role in sharing forward these amazing stories, inspiring others to join the YSHIFT Movement, so together
