    Acknowledgments

    Line Line

    Ihave been blessed to meet many amazing people like you. Like all of us, I have people who encouraged and pushed me when I had self-doubt. I want to acknowledge them.

    For those who know me, I have a pretty strong faith in my higher power. For me, He is God. For you, it may be something else. But, without the gifts, talents, and opportunities He has given me, I’d not have put in all the handwork that has gotten me to where I am today. I am so grateful and humbled by all He has done for me. My heart cannot express how thankful I am.

    My mother, Ida, is my biggest supporter and one of my closest friends. She had always stood by me, even when my life imploded. I love you, mom. 

    My family is important and has always been a strong support to me. I love being Uncle James, The Great.

    To my close friends, my biggest cheerleaders, thank you for bringing me joy and allowing me to be me. You guys are in my 4th category! (Read chapter 17.)

    To the one I love, you know who you are. I’m not going anywhere. 

    Thank you to my fellow broadcasters, authors, clinicians, and friends who stood beside me and allowed me to use their platforms to promote this book. Thank you so much!!

    Thanks to Christopher Gillispie and Kyle Ankney from Red Heifer Media (I love the name of their company). Thank you for being the best CEO and Publicist a guy like me could ever have. I highly endorse you. RedHeiferMedia.com

    Many more people have influenced me and taught me valuable life lessons. Thank you!

    I also want to thank all the neigh sayers. Without your criticism and laughter, I’d probably not be this James Miller…, and I’m pretty cool, so thank you!

    Lastly, thanks to all the readers. I am truly humbled and honored that you’d entrust me when you are struggling. You are not alone. Never alone. 

    Enjoy this book! I know it’ll help you as it has helped
