Loving the Word

  Hey guys, I'm counting down the days (64) until the release of Finding Imani . Of all the many books I have written, Finding Imani is the one I consider most important because of the subject matter. With each round of edits I have made on the book, I've been impressed with inspiration and additional content, and I pray that Imani's story will help others who have -or are still in the process- of overcoming abuse. Abuse of any kind is damaging to the spirit, and the effects take a long time to fade. I know abuse. It was my life as a child, and it took a long time to heal from. Up until a few years ago, I was doing okay. Then something happened to me that brought my childhood back to the forefront for a long while. The perpetrator of this offense has no idea of what I am still dealing with from time to time because of his actions, and the institution I once thought I could trust took his word over mine and nothing was ever done. So, I started my healing process over again. ...

 I'm really excited about my upcoming book, Finding Imani , and it is my prayer that this story, written in verse, will help and uplift anyone dealing with (or overcoming) abuse in any of its various forms. Having been the victim of sexual and violent abuse as a child, then having to deal with it a few years ago in another form, I put my heart and soul into writing this story, and I want to help others understand that they won't always be victims. God can - and will - help turn victims into survivors. He can help us grow into the strong people we are meant to be. Though we may feel worthless, in God's eyes, we are priceless.

I'm so excited about my new book coming out in February that I've decided to post a meme a day. I've been doing that on Facebook, but I decided to post them here as well.
