As written by John “Raymel” Austin, who has been my friend since we were children. I believe that this was written for you too.

The world was blessed when you took your first steps. You are fulfilling your destiny now. This was meant to be. Think about it. what are the odds of you and me meeting up and sharing what we share in this world? And I’m talking from day one? If you had not lived what you lived you would be unable to discuss the things that you share now with others.

Amen, John. Aptly put. I appreciate your comments. Many will be blessed by what you said. If it’s okay with you; I’ll include it in the new blog I’m building. Your words reconfirm what I found in my WOW moment, “We triumph not in spite of it all; but because of it all.”

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.
