The Diary Of A Broken Woman

Once you reach a certain level of success, it's important to pass that wisdom down to the next woman. We all have a responsibility to make sure that each woman who comes after us wins in life. This book has been my way of giving just that. My life has not been easy. So many times I've asked God why me, but what I came to realize is the question should have been "why not me." I invite you to read the greatest gift I will give to this world. My story. My diary. My life. No cake or ice cream, but instead my journeys dead ends, moments of hopelessness, and I wish I wasn't here moments.

I've gone from Children's Aid meeting rooms to boardroom and committee meetings. I came from being told that I'd never amount to anything, I was forced to believe that I held no value or beauty. I've been used, abused and I've had my dignity dragged in the dirt by friends and loved ones, only to end up being praised by people in higher places. I've been bullied, isolated, and discriminated against. I've questioned my life, I've begged for my life and I've plotted against my life and although I still hold onto certain insecurities, I'm learning to accept them while walking into this woman I have been called to be. No more pity parties, pointing fingers much less entertaining any form of hindrance to my purpose; my story is my testimony and now I'm using it to empower. This is my story, The Diary of a Broken Woman. ....Are you struggling to find some meaning within life hurdles? Does it feel as though you can't seem to understand the whole "love" thing?

There is a purpose for the pain; be encouraged because God can and will make EVERYTHING beautiful in its time.

Written with humor and intelligence, her “Broke Diary” quickly found an audience as people wrote to Angela to empathize with, console, and laugh with her about her experiences and even share their own.

I (please don’t laugh) put the money on the counter and quickly attempt to dash out with my Chicken Flavored Salt Noodles. The guy calls me back! I look up instinctively, I should have run . . . Why didn’t I run???!! He tells me the noodles are 35 cents. I try to apologize sincerely. I thought the sign said 33 cents yesterday, so that’s all I brought with me. Could he wait while I ran home and get the 2 cents? I show him my student I.D. to let him know I am not a thief. He shakes his head and motions either for me to get the hell out of his store and never come back again or get the money as do come back. I don’t know. He said something like “Nyeh” and swiped his hand in my direction. I can’t translate hand motions well. The noodles: tasty!!!
