I was inspired to write my first poem in 1994 while I was in the waiting room. My sister was having a ten hour back surgery. It has been the trials of life that give me a "word" of encouragement through poems. When the Lord gives to me, I give back. It's a Journey: You're Not Alone is a book of poetry that will feed your soul, inspire your spirit and motivate you to press through your trials and claim your God-given destiny.
