About
I was extremely broken, both inside and out. I lived under the guise that I could successfully take charge of my being and right the wrongs done to me. Raised in the church, I knew God; however, at 5 years old, my little life was violated, and thus began 11+ years of sexual abuse that created awful patterns of thinking that led to many more years not loving the skin that I was in. Trust destroyed by those that “supposedly” loved me the most, a series of bad relationships, to a horrific act causing me to almost take the life of someone I didn’t even know.
After years of faking it all, an attempt to take my own life, suffering from PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder, I was incarcerated for 11.4 years. But for His grace, I live to share my way out of that abyss.
I am proof that change is absolutely possible and that by following His will and walking in humility; forgiveness, joy, success, and favor is exactly what He had planned for me. Sometimes, we have to go through to get through. These are my truths. Today, I am Living Life on, and with, P.U.R.P.O.S.E.

On each page of this courageous account of the author's journey from victim to survivor to thriver, I was moved by her honesty and vulnerability. It is deeply moving and inspirational book---raw when needed and also tender. Through reading her accounts of lessons learned, I believe many will benefit her story. I certainly have.

What a journey through childhood and to have come through it so purposefully and humbly. The writer really opened up with truth and I was able to really feel what she endured. Thank you for sharing your incredible story!!!

I certainly enjoyed reading this well written book by this awesome woman I can call a dear friend. The book depicts her ups and downs along her journey of life, certainly doesn't look like what she been through. Best wishes and congratulations.
