The journey back to me started with my mind, body and spirit and oh did it feel so good. My mind would linger in the past at times but I know that when my God takes something away he will always have something better for me. My mind has been placed at ease. I am able to sleep the nights through now. I can breathe again. This is the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. This is the peace of me loving me on a different level. This is where I close my eyes and say hmm for God's goodness, grace and mercy. Now when I walk into my apartment there is a warmth of love. It was me that I have been missing. The greatest love was inside of me all along. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. I was the one that made my house a home.

Lost, confused, hurt and betrayed when my whole life was snatched out from under me in one fell swoop called divorce. I was left by myself in a place I had not journeyed to alone. Life as I knew it would never be the same and I sat there with the questions...."Why did this happen? and what do I do now?" God used my love of words, poetry, and spoken word, to begin my healing process, which includes forgiveness. I took the journey towards loving me again and learning how much God loves me. See how He was guiding my steps to help me find out who I am, my purpose and who God called me to be. To show me how God can take what I thought was a tragedy and show me that it was instead a triumph that would take me to my bigger and better destiny. To finally be fearless telling the things that happened to me....while I was away.

This book I wrote is a signature of my life from my youth until that designated time that God revealed his awareness to me; being blessed with the gift of athletic abilities and the rewards that came with the accomplishments, and the birth of my children and my grandchildren. The journey I made in leaving home to experience college life. The opportunity to interact with a variety of international cultures and learning their personalities and traditions; I was blinded and deceived, believing and trusting the world system. Also sitting myself in sessions with high elected professors, doctors and PHDs. This true story tells how I tasted the world exaltation of popularity in athletics, the pain of participating in the system of this world and dealing with family crises. But the sweetest flavor I have ever tasted was the deliverance, salvation and the freedom coming to Jesus Christ and the Lord my God.
