I was born and raised in the heart and soul of Brooklyn, New York 16 minutes later than my twin brother. Although I was, fashionably, late I came into agreement with God that this was the groundwork laid for the story of my life. My twin passed away 3 months after our 59th birthday and I vowed that going into my 60's without him would be a turning point for me to live that abundant life that God promised in His word. My philosophy became this, "There are no 'too late(s)' in life, only the 'right on time(s)', therefore I know I'm in sync with God's timing". So, I decided to live and be who God created me to be.

He gave me gifts like encouraging others and writing and creating things from an early age. And although I don't have formal training in the discipline of writing, I just have a God inspired connection that trumps the foolish thinking of the wise and profound.

I found it to be a wonderful gift that brings joy and a sense of hope to the one who beholds it. This is why and how A Heart Issue was birthed.

Therefore, my desire to see others live a fulfilled bold life in Christ no matter what the world is trying to dictate to them so they can hold onto God's never changing hands and know that there are still saints who honor God and aren't compromising their morals and integrity is a passion embedded in my heart. Knowing that it was always driven by love in spite of any hardships I faced.

I beat the odds of addiction in the late 80's / early 90's, having my children taken from me due to addiction but came back and did my best in raising a big family, survived breast cancer and domestic violence, rape, near death experiences, homelessness, and hopelessness. So. I create
