I’ve been a bit silent. To be honest,I’m in what feels like is the most difficult process of my life–coming to grips with the aging process and how it is affecting my body.
I finally found a way to describe the pain that’s had me in its’ grip for well over too long. It feels like my thigh bones are stapled to jack hammers. With each step, such pain I’ve never known–including childbirth. It’s too soon! Severe DJD/OA. My body has very seldom failed me.
Did I not think that an attack on my legs was inevitable? Afterall, as a friend reminded me, “You’re the one trusting God and walkin’ on water when the ground ain’t enuf!” So I’m praising God with every step, allowing Him to put me with the physicians, He assigned for me in this season; and working to alleviate the inflammation and get me stablized. Of course, this has not been a smooth process, obstacles at every turn, but STILL I PERSEVERE–Still I am destined to win in 2010.
This is worse than AARP sending me a membership card when I was 49. It was too soon! None of it is too soon. I am right where I am supposed to be. So am I; perhaps so are you.
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Who I Am
I'm an author, inspirational speaker, vocalist, and performance artist. I was a heroin addict saved from myself and the lifestyle (with all the pain that comes with it) but the mercy and grace of God. Thus, I am a late bloomer; but blooming none-the-less. I've yielded every talent given me, and am now using them to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to discover and lives God's marvelous plans for their lives. My books include my latest, Walking On Water When The Ground Ain't Enuf; I Say A Prayer For Me: One Woman's Life of Faith and Triumph (Warner); 12-Step Programs: A Resource Guide For Helping Professionals; and Contributing Author of SistahFaith: Real Stories of Pain, Truth and Triumph compiled by Marilynn Griffith (Howard/Simon&Schuster). I also perform a one-woman show with comedy infused throughout. It's who I am--by God's grace--one woman on a journey toward unwavering faith.
