About the Author

FOREWORD

Michele is one of the strongest women I know. She has battled and been bruised but came out on top. She has not let life stop her. I am grateful to know Michele and to call her my friend. May the Lord shine on her now and always.

I was thinking about my life as a dentist in 2013. My life was great, and it was getting better. All of a sudden, it was ripped apart. I will spare you the details, but my life changed forever.

Fast-forward to 2016. One day I wanted to go cycling by myself. I had something on my mind, and a little bike ride usually helped me with a problem. But that wasn’t God’s plan. Instead, God said, You need some help, and Michele Morris appeared out of the blue.

I didn’t know what I was getting into, but God knew. I was partnered with her for a ride. Let me tell you that she was a handful, but she changed my life. We got to talking, which wasn’t my usual thing during cycling. That day, we rode about seven or eight miles. It was the beginning of a bright future for me. Over the months and years, we talked about almost everything, even her finishing this book.

Michele is so focused and driven. She is a determined author and woman. I thank her for helping me be a more focused man. I loved the lifestyle management tools the best. It helped me gain a little more focus. She helped me make changes, and I hope you, the readers, are ready to make changes too. Are y’all Ready, SET, Go?

—Dr. Derrick Mitchell, DDS

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First and foremost, I thank God for the blessings, strength, and wisdom He has and will continue to bestow upon me.

To my mom, I will never be able to say thank you enough or how much I appreciate being raised to be a strong, independent woman.

I would like to express loving thanks to Dion for putting your life on hold when necessary to care for me throughout my health issues. Your many words and steadfastness kept me grounded. And thanks for driving Miss Daisy (inside joke)! Dion and Joe, I’m grateful for your patience, love, support, time, and understanding, especially on days when I spent hours writing.

Rod, thank you for your love, support, and understanding that has helped me over the years to pursue my dreams. Your
