The "Mind" characters used in this book are metaphors. Their physical appearance is dictated by the state of mind they represent. They have no choice to change their original appearance, but they do have the power to modify the social set of expectations that are attached to their identity. Each mind will experience life as a series of tests within scenarios that are uniquely presented according to their personal appearance. This is where the entertainment begins. It is our hope that you identify with at least one of the minds, maybe even several of them. Each of us have likely faced some of the challenges The Minds will be dealt. We may be confronted in the future with some of their choices. Many of the situations are not age specific, therefore easily relatable. Our hope is that you will laugh hard and cry softly as you are introduced to The Minds. Most of all, we hope you will conquer all your fears and recognize the beauty within yourself, just as you are. The changes we go through in life will serve us in affirming ways. Regardless which choices you make, right or wrong, each will make you stronger. Refuse to give up. Do not allow others to dictate your actions and feelings should they judge you based on your appearance alone. Your mind belongs to you. Decorate it as you wish, with love.
