First and foremost, I give honor to God who is the Head and Captain of my life. Without God, I know exactly where I would have been ~ on my way to hell. Writing is a tremendous experience that I would not trade for anything in the world. I am so humbled and honored to be a broken and repaired vessel to be used by God.

I give honor to my Mom -- Patty -- who has been a rock in my life and a HUGE supporter. It was not popular to be unwed and have a child in the 70's. No matter the trials and tribulations my Mom went through, she did not abort me but LOVED me, cried for me, took care of me and taught me many valuable life lessons that have helped form who I am today. God then took that mold and transformed me to be a Speakerbox for Him.

I was born and grew up in Delaware. After graduating High School, and spending a few semesters at the local college, I heard my heart beating for new life and relocated to Philadelphia, PA with my Mom's blessing. In the mist, I was able to obtain my B.S. from Penn State Harrisburg campus - majoring in Criminal Justice and Psychology. Traveling from Delaware to Pennsylvania to Florida and abroad to minister, I must say that my life has been an adventure (and I will write more books to prove it).

Without giving away too much, just know that with all that I have been through, I have allowed no one to steal my joy. I stand before you a Woman of God, dedicated to do His will, in and out of season; whether it is popular or not; received or not. I will continue to stand flat footed, uncompromising on the Word of God. He has called and chosen me to preach and teach His word locally and abroad. His plans are superior to mine and I accept that God has positioned me for the purpose and plans He has for my life. The best is yet to come.

I also give honor to all those who have loved me, supported me (spiritually, financially, mentally and emotionally), prayed for me, donated to me or my nonprofit International H.O.P.E. Inc., mentored me, celebrated me, honored me as God has spoken and everything in between. So many have invested and spoken blessings and positivity in my life that there are too many to name but they know who they are.

Among my titles (Pastor, Servant of God, Spiritual Mentor/Mentor, Operator in the Prophetic gift of the Holy Spirit -- along with other Spiritual Gifts -- Daughter, Friend/Sister, Godmother, CEO and Founder of a nonprofit feeding ministry), I am honored to add published author to that list.

I pray that you continually pray for me, my family, loved ones and ministries God has appointed us over as we continue to lift your names before the Lord.
