Salima Ragland has written hundreds of letters - a small collection of which appear on the following pages. Her passion for writing letters is a gift and comes from her heart.

"Unfolding your umbrella" is a term that we use to push past insecurities and have the courage to share your gifts or express your feelings. Salima's confidence in expressing her feelings grows as she takes leaps of faith with each letter.

In the article "Lessons from an Umbrella" Robert Black from Rwanda's The New Times (July 14, 2013) writes "In life, we have so many umbrellas that God and nature have put into place to help us solve our daily challenges and move towards our destiny, but they require our action in order to help us.

We hope that Salima's Purpose: Unfolding Her Umbrella and Love and Gratitude encourages YOU to Unfold Your Umbrella!
