"One day in the early 1990's, when my daughter was about 8 years old, I realized the questions she was asking about "where do we come from?" and "why is this the way it is?" were requiring real answers. Answers that made sense. Not the simple 'fairy tale' answers I could get away with just a few years earlier. And, at that moment I came face to face with the fact that I didn't have the kind of quality answers I really wanted to give her. After all, she is my daughter and I wanted to fill her head with the best possible content I could find. And so it began. The result several years later is 'Making a Masterpiece of Your Life'."
