This book is my story where I was and where I am going. From the first you saw things and read, I had to grow into the woman I am today. Yes I have skeletons and flaws. I'm not perfect nor will I ever be. People are quit to judge you by what others say when they have the same speck in their life. In life, you can't be quick to judge and condemn someone because you dislike this person over what others have said. I love the woman I am today because my pain is my purpose. My vision is plain because I recite and wrote it to make it plain. Without a vision, you have no dream. With all things you can do have and be. Believe in self. Your story is your testimony you have been tested to help someone else. My story can help others to be themselves and speak out. Don't be shame of what you did or do. Encourage others to be the narrator of their story, not others.
