: About Me

I reside in a wonderful southern city and have traveled to other cities to visit but always find myself wanting to get back home. I enjoy life and enjoy sharing my life with my husband, children and grand kids.
I try and make sure that each day I encourage someone to stop sweating over the small stuff and leave the big stuff to God. I have published a Christian book and yes I did use self publishing and frankly the book is doing well.
I have had opportunities to meet people from all walks of life and consider those meetings as "mini-vacations" because they tell me a little something about their homeland or town and I feel as if I have visited that place.
I do believe in making lemons into sweet lemonade, so when life throws me a lemon, I make the sweetest lemonade. Since I have been a very grown adult, I took an initiative to get my Bachelors Degree. I didn't do that alone, it took my faith in God and encouragement from my family. Since getting my degree, I have had great job opportunities. At present I work for a state agency and I truly believe I am working at the best job ever. No office drama there! I am working with professional adults and I love the flexibility and team work.
I love helping people and if I could have a wish list it would be to gain financial stability so I can help people.

The title of my book is "Hearing God Over all the Madness" ISBN# 9781425927920

Marcus' Song It was a cool early morning when the knocks at the door awaken Jasmine. As she grabbed her housecoat and slipped into her fuzzy slippers, her heart sank wondering who could be at her door at 4:00 a.m. Jasmine was raised from the "old school mindset". She could almost hear her long dead Grandma echoing in her head "death and trouble creep in the wee hours". "I'm coming," shouted Jasmine as she began to walk through the hallway, passing the portraits of family members; each eye seemed to follow her towards the door. The knocks became louder, "I'm coming stop knocking" as her voi...
