Big Inspirations and Deep Thoughts

I dedicate this book to my kids, Ashley, Charleston, and Charleigh, for being lights in my life. Your lights and caring spirits keep me inspired every day. You are amazing.

To my parents: Ruth Carter, who has made the transition to be with the Lord, and Albert Carter. Thank you for everything that you have done and wanted to do. My love for you and your love for me is forever. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Thanks also to my aunt Claudia, who is the wisest person I know and love. You have been very inspiring and motivating. Thanks for being there for me when I needed you the most. You have always believed in me and never judged me, which encouraged me to believe in myself.

I want to thank my mentor, Joe Parker, who has been a huge part of my spiritual transformation. I am extremely grateful to have you as a mentor. Thank you for being understanding and patient.

Introduction

To everyone who reads this book I speak to you of inspiration, motivation, prosperity, great health, happiness, and peace. This book was definitely inspired by God; I started to write in a journal two years ago, not knowing I was being prepared to write this book. When inspiration comes, it never comes the way you expect it.
