So you want to know more about me...
I've been writing since the late 1990s. In fact, I recently found a manuscript I wrote in 1997 but never published. I got busy being a wife and mother. I committed myself to being a full-time homemaker and mom until my kids were grown. It came with sacrifices. There was no room for selfishness. I understood the importance of parenting and wanted my kids to grow up healthy. I wanted to break the dysfunctional cycles that existed in my family. While I schooled my kids at home, I started my ministry called "Friends with Purpose." It involved counseling and life purpose coaching. I began blogging, writing articles, and doing a few music podcasts. Then life interrupted. I divorced and moved to South Carolina. I was forced to start a new life, a new season. I also had to start my blog from scratch since my other one disappeared when I switched web hosting services. Five years of blogging vanished!
As I say many times, there are seasons in our lives. My season of full-time parenting has come to an end. If you're in a season of parenting, embrace it, love it, and be the best mom you can be. It is a privilege to raise children, not a burden.
In this new season of my life, God has opened doors for me to travel and speak about the books I've written. My heart is to inform, educate, and encourage women on being helpmates, on parenting, on healing, and on Biblical womanhood.

Why I wrote Conquer Chaos and Thrive
As I mentioned previously, I began writing my first manuscript for a book in 1997. I put the manuscript away for 28 years. Since then, a lot has changed in how we do things. Needless to say, I basically re-wrote the entire manuscript to keep up with modern-day life. However, the subject is still the same. I believe there are women who will benefit from my new book who need guidance in dealing with chaos in their lives.
Why I wrote Exposing Satan's Agenda on Women
For too long, It has grieved me to see so many women be deceived by the unbiblical worldviews, by society's distorted norms, and by erroneous thinking. Satan is behind it all. He has had an agenda to render women ineffective so that families can fall apart and future generations be destroyed. This book exposes how Satan works in 8 different areas to deceive women.
Why I wrote Girl, Handle Your Business
I wanted to offer tips on how to better organize your household finances both manually and digitally. I share forms I've created to help with income and expenses, bills, budgeting, etc. I also wanted to make it affordable. That's why the ebook is permanently priced at 99 cents.
Why I wrote Hellmates and Helpmates
I released another book for women. I had a blast researching the stories of all the wives in the Bible and was amazed at what I learned! You too will enjoy reading these intriguing stories. I wrote it because I did not find any books on the market regarding the wives in the Bible and how we can learn from each of them.
Why I wrote Purposed for Womanhood
I saw (and still see) a great need for women of all ages to be mentored, guided, helped, and trained to become Godly women who can make an impact in our society. Nobody can argue that we are living in an age where lawlessness, immorality and ungodliness is rampant. Purposed for Womanhood trains women to live righteously, guides mothers on parenting, and teaches women to be helpmates.
Why I wrote How to Heal From His Affair
After experiencing many years of infidelity in my first marriage, I found a need for a book that spoke directly to the woman who was sinned against by her husband. The books I read did little to minister to me because they were either too clinical, too religious, or written to the couple. I (NOT WE) needed to be guided through the healing process. Many women complain that they're husbands don't want to serve God nor are they willing to walk alongside of them in the healing journey. This book is ideal for the woman who's going through the process alone.
Why I wrote Building Yourself Up
The body of Christ desperately needs to learn and understand the basic tenets of its faith. I walk you through 12 lessons followed by questions and answers. Although there are many books written to new believers in Christ, mine is simple to read and to understand. I also confront some of the manipulative teachings that exist in too many churches.

How to Heal From His Affair
Testimonials:
"Your book has already been a blessing to me. I've used some of the practices you've mentioned and prayers have been answered. So much so that my husband had asked me if he can read it, when I'm done!!! I automatically said sure!" God's timing and knowing that I still needed to heal has come to fruition. Thank you for your willingness and strength to share your story and reaching out to those of us that are a part of this same journey."

Exposing Satan's Agenda on Women - Testimonial:
Wow! What a great read! How easy we forget the strategic lies of Satan. In the book “Exposing Satan’s Agenda on Women” Satan continues to prowl around in disguise making fools out of women, if we are not careful, we will fall for anything today! After reading this fantastic book my outlook was refreshed and since I personally work for the school system this part really motivated me to stand strong 💪 be alert and watchful; a must get and keep it in your library as reference and a reminder that we must stand for the truth.
