Dedications

I dedicate this book to my beloved mother Sheila Yvonne Clark who has passed on to glory. I value the time I shared with her in this life and all that she imparted in me. I thank God I was birthed by an Angel! She always inspired me to put God first, dare to dream, love, and help others. The love of God within her made an impact on many lives.

This book is also dedicated to my father (James Louis Clark), my siblings (Danielle Clark, James Clark, and Timothy Clark), and my daughter (Kristen Jordan). They are my support group and have been there through thick and thin. When I need a pick me up I can always count on them for a laugh.

Introduction

3 John 1:2

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou

mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospers."

God not only wants us to prosper but he also wants us to be in good health. We get caught up in the day to day grind of life. The responsibilities and issues we face causes stress to our minds and our bodies. At times the stress becomes so unbearable that some of us even check out mentally and become like robots. We place ourselves on auto-pilot losing sight of who we are. Have you ever felt so overwhelmed that you feel sick, worried, or depressed? Does your mind start racing trying to figure out how to complete all the things you need to do? Are you unhappy? Do you take for granted the things that matter most like loved ones, always busy thinking about money or work? Have you lost interest for things you used to enjoy?
