Book summary
The Human Touch is my story of how a disconnected timid girl, who experienced adversity in her childhood, picked herself up, followed her heart and lived her dreams.
 
Written for and dedicated to my children, my book contains various poems written by me and lessons from my life experiences in Singapore.

My vision for our future is that we live in a world that honours and respects life and where life is treated with dignity. My purpose is to inspire you to follow your dreams and make them come true by believing in yourself.

My goals for this book are 3 folds:

1.    Empower people to embrace their fears and failures because they contain valuable life lessons;
2.    Believe in the impossible;
3.    Follow your dreams to live the life you were born to live.

Be prepared to believe in the impossible!
