A book of hope in times of despair; a journey through life during the difficult times, many twists and turns, inevitable hardships and confusion eventually exerting a heavy toll on the soul. Sometimes in life we would like to do better; kindness will inspire change within us, positive thinking with words of motivation can become the foundation of encouragement. Being determined through times of humiliation to pick up the pieces. Just when life throws you a curveball we learn to humble ourselves and put on the full body armor of God. In a blink, you believed it was all over! God heard your prayers and the windows of heaven opened, good energy, joy, faith and prosperity finds its way into your life, representing the true meaning of peace'

Memoir (bio-intro)

February 7, 2012

I began writing in motion while just a young girl, placing my memories in a unique style and sometimes funny way, starting with puppy love, and eventually finding true love. I wrote for many days, weeks, and later, years. Some of my stories will simply bring one to tears; you’re probably wondering how a person had hope for so many years? It is truly God’s destiny. He blessed my mind with great creativity.

My life as I know it is surrounded by many people, lots of places, and sometimes crazy situations, yet I never lost hope, never gave up on my faith, all while continuing to maintain my peace.

I love the power of the pen; I consider it my second best friend. My first best friend’s name is Yvette, who I could call any time of day or night. She continues to be my spiritual sister no matter what my plight! I shared her name with my youngest daughter. The irony to my memoir is when it all began, the winter of December 22, 1984. I put my first book together, who knew? Exactly eleven years later, God would bless me with my third and youngest child, Evette.

My footprints of creating this memoir would become a game changer, as I journey through many life-changing events, curve balls, twist, and turns. Learning how to channel my thoughts by writing and training myself to deal with everyday challenges, positivity over negativity, a sure way to determine how to defeat the enemy by overcoming and pressing on!

I have learned to live every moment, laugh every day, and love beyond words.

I am forever grateful to my husband, Joe, my children Emanuel, Victoria, and Evette, and close childhood friends, Monica and Yvette. Thank you all for your continued prayers and sincere love.

My family also taught me to have faith, to believe in myself, to keep hope, as I kneel and pray for better days in our nation. I learned at an early age to pray to God. I truly believe He heard and answered each and every prayer. I asked God at the tender age of twelve to one day become a police officer? Not only was I allowed to serve with one of the best law enforcement agencies in the world, New York City Police Department, I believe I left a lasting impression of God’s greatness on so many people who crossed my path. Today, I stand firmly on this scripture, God’s promise to me, For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11–13, NLT)

May each person who read this memoir be blessed.

I give God the glory for my life!

Book of Poetry

You Never Notice a

Good

Thing until It Is Gone

December 22, 1984

Dedicated to the one I love …

Something so Strong

A love so deep; too much to require

Feeling the possessions

So much to desire

Small things one learns to enjoy

Becomes abused like a lonely toy

So less in a relationship

Too much to explain

What you thought you had;

You leave yourself to blame
