I wrote this book to inspire the people that were counted out, overlooked, the underdog, and the dreamer. When I was writing this book, I wanted to encourage the reader to keep believing in yourself no matter what obstacles you face. To keep moving in your vision even if it doesn't look like what you expected it to be. No matter the hand you are dealt you can to make the best out of a not so good situation. I feel like people sometimes just need a push or even a little nudge to jump start their career. You don't have to be the smartest person to be successful it starts with a drive and willingness to go even if no one else go's and to believe in yourself when people think you are crazy for dreaming that big. I wanted the Leaders of today to keep leading even if you only have one person following you keep leading eventually things will turn around for you. I wanted the reader to dream big and take the limits off.

When Grei decided to take on the human experience, she entered difficult times, as expected. However, she wanted to learn more and experience more. Having grown weary of her life as a cat, she visited the Tree of Choices and gained entrance into the world of humans. When she endured a myriad of negative life experiences in a short period of time, she wearily stopped at a coffee shop to be alone and reflect upon the experiences. She then received "shimmers of truth" (wisdom) in abundance.This novel is about spiritual growth as Grei finds out what it is like to acquire wisdom during adversity by seeking the scriptures for the insight. This story takes the reader on a journey of how Grei entered other dimensions of being by thinking abstractly about her various experiences and opening her heart and mind to receive spiritual messages.An explanation of chosen scriptures, and how she carefully and mindfully linked the scriptures to each experience to become enlightened, will be observed. What she learned, though frightening due to the reality of things being magnified, was also eye-opening but necessary for the preservation of her soul. So, this novel is also for anyone who is fascinated with wisdom and knows its importance. What Grei ultimately noticed was that life is a giant deception, without keen spiritual discernment and a mindful and vigilant heart and mind. We are amongst a great spiritual battle between the forces of good and evil. Seeing it as such, keeping one's attention on the Spirit, and deepening the connection with the Spirit, are essential to the ongoing process of salvation. What Grei finally decides to do will not only shock you but urge you to be the warriors you were meant to be in this spiritual battle. Let us fight on to the end.
