About the Author

I WAS BORN IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY BUT WAS RAISED BY MY AUNTCARRIE AND UNCLE BASS IN PARIS TENNESSEE. I WAS ALWAYS A CREATED CHILD GROWING UP, BUT POETRY WAS NOT MY THING AT THE TIME, ART WAS. I WAS SO GOOD ONCE UPON A TIME THAT I WAS OFFERED A CAREER IN AN ART SCHOOL. MY MOM WOULD NOT LET ME TAKE IT BECAUSE I WAS ONLY SIXTEEN AND THE SCHOOL WAS OUT OF STATE. I WAS MORE IN TO DRAWING CARTOON CHARACTERS THAN REGULAR ART. MY LIFE TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE, AND I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO PURSUE MY CAREER. I MARRIED, AND HAD THREE DAUGHTERS. I NOW HAVE SIX GRANDCHILDREN, WHOM I AM PROUD OF.

SO MUCH HAVE HAPPENED IN MY LIFE THAT I STARTED WRITING CERTAIN EXPERIENCES OF WHICH I STARTED TO PUT IT TO POETRY. GOD HAVE BEEN IN THE MIST OF IT ALL, SO THIS IS WHY I WRITE CHRISTIAN POETRY. WITHOUT HIM IN MY LIFE, I DONT KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE. HE HAS BEEN MY STRENGTH, PROVIDER, HEALER AND MY BEST FRIEND.

I PRAY THIS BOOK WILL BE A BOOK OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR EVERYONE YOUNG, AND OLD. MAY GOD BLESS YOU!
