Introduction

Reflections from the Heart is a book filled with expression of feelings from the hearts of so many women whose paths I have crossed in my lifetime, be it the past, present or the future agenda.

The short stories and poems within this book are truly inspiring thoughts and sayings that have helped to support the positive causes to nurture and develop the minds of so many—mentoring, sisterhood, togetherness, mental aid, health and strength of our fellow sisters that we would like to share. Reason being: the Lord wants us to care for each other and to shelter the lost and to comfort the unsettled, so read and enjoy the heartfelt moments that are in this book with Blessings from God.

Always,
