My book is about learning, healing, and growing through God’s lessons.

My book is a collection of real‑life stories, spiritual lessons, and personal experiences that shaped who I am as a woman from Detroit. It’s about the moments God used to teach me, correct me, strengthen me, and grow me — even when I didn’t understand it at the time. I write openly about fear, faith, family, friendships, dreams, and the quiet ways God speaks through everyday life. Each chapter is a lesson wrapped in a story: the things I survived, the things I learned, and the things I had to let go of. It’s honest, emotional, and rooted in the belief that God wastes nothing — not our pain, not our mistakes, not our victories. Through my writing, I want readers to see themselves, reflect on their own journeys, and realize that God is always teaching, guiding, and preparing us for something greater. This book is my testimony, my healing, and my offering to anyone who needs encouragement, clarity, or a reminder that they’re not walking alone.

How do you handle fear and self-doubt?

I sit back and ask myself, What is causing the fear and doubt? I ask myself questions to understand how I’m feeling and what I can do to get through it after I’ve prayed.

I’ve always had a fear of going to the dentist. I had to identify the fear: I hate the atmosphere of walking into the building, signing in, and answering all the questions. That alone gave me anxiety. After the paperwork is done, I sit and look around at each person, wondering what they’re here for. Then I analyze how calm they look. They seem unbothered, like this is nothing to them — when they could be nervous too.

I focus on being called to the back, sitting in the chair, and answering even more questions. Then I remind myself, Okay, you need this done. Think about all the people who came before you and DID IT. That’s how I handle fear and self‑doubt.

I think about what has to be done, calm myself down, get out of my own head, focus on the outcome — and then it’s OVER.

The first thing I do is identify my fear and my self‑doubt. It works for me every time.

“Recharged, Refocused, and Ready to Write Again”

It’s been a while since I’ve been blogging, and I truly miss it when I’m gone. Writing a book really does take time, but dang — I didn’t have to walk away from blogging. Blogging helps me get my groove back when I don’t feel like writing.

I was at my daughter’s house for three weeks. We have so much fun together. There’s plenty of room for us to spread out, and we both love our together time just as much as we love our time apart. Plus, I get to be with my grand‑dog, Brendan. I love him so much it’s crazy — and he loves me too. Dearly. God blessed me to spend that time with him.

My daughter always said if she doesn’t have a husband, she won’t have kids — and she meant that. So her focus is her job and going back to school. Having a dog for a grandson is EVEN BETTER FOR ME, especially with the way teens and kids are taking such a hit in life these days. It saddens me to see all that’s going on.

Then when it’s time to come home to my lovely place — still don’t have furniture yet — but this place is going to be so beautiful when I do. The way it’s made and built is exactly what I asked God for.

I made me and Nesha a candle, and I finally, FINALLY found the perfect double‑wick candle I’ve been looking for. I believe in finding the perfect wick for the jars I choose. It’s a black 10 oz candle, and it’s going to sell well. I’m thinking of pairing the book with that candle — so people can enjoy the book while lighting it. I’m excited for what’s to come.

I’m back, family, and I’ll chat with y’all tomorrow.
