Allow your mind to accept when you're facing the dark times but focus on finding the light.

The process is rarely respected because of the focus we put into rushing to get out of something. If we go with the flow and trust His will we might appreciate our growth. I didn't want to hear "It will get better." "You are strong, you will get through this." "I am praying for you." One of the toughest things for some of the strongest people is acceptance. I finally learned-not to just say it, but the actual meaning of learned-"I had to go through to get to"...

"Bunny” and “Amber” are as thick as thieves. Their friendship is based on laughs, trust, honesty, sin, and secrets. They have a no-judgment zone. The most intimate moments they have shared were leaning on the other’s shoulder. The choices they have made in life led them down some unknown, funny, and memorable paths on uncharted territory. You can be the sensible soundboard for someone you love, but unless they are ready to face their truths and see the error of their ways, some things are better left unsaid.

Father in Heaven, I don’t know how I’ve become this blessed. Thank you. I owe you my life, happiness, success, and so much more! I remember thinking I’d do what I wanted and assumed you weren’t looking. Oh, were you looking!

Black man, you are loved and needed. Take care of yourself! This is a public declaration of my gratitude!

Being a single mother has its ups and downs. I enjoy being there every day watching my children grow, have fun, learn, and most importantly apply what they are learning. I can't/won't take all of the credit when it comes to molding them as it takes a village and I'm grateful for mine.

Leah's example of unconditional love expired when her father expired. She promised herself unless a man could fill his shoes he shouldn't approach her. "He" came in and brought her back to life and taught her somethings. A woman will always choose a man that can teach her something over a man who can buy her something.

November 21, 2016, was one of the worst days of my life. To this day, I can honestly say I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone. I will be forever changed because of it. Grief due to gun violence swept through my family and forever changed the dynamic.

I signed up for a soul contract that at times I wish I could trade in. Born with breathing complications I've been tryna catch my breath ever since. With the highs and lows of becoming who he created, I've learned one thing for sure, hold onto God cause even when the "lights" are on, you definitely gone need Him! Bare Truth is just that.... I leave nothing out. The chapters and this book represent all it took to become me....

I wanted to share a few things that some of us would rather not discuss openly. For me, I move in silence with a lot of things in my life. Outside energy has a way of throwing you off. Unfortunately, we can’t receive help nor help others by being quiet. So, instead of creating a character(s) and calling it therapy, I chose to write about what I elevate with daily and still show up.

Kendal and Kevin do not have your normal brother and sister bond. With the telepathy between the two, you'd think they were twins. When "it" says "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity", they definitely had Kevin in mind.

I decided to drive people around and see what all the "fuss" was about. I thought it would be a good side hustle, but boy oh boy, did I get so much more. Stay tuned!
