Improved Essays
I had what appeared a good life being able to live at home raising my three children while attending college, but on the inside, I was lost and lonely.

A number one priority was to keep the lives of my children as normal as possible by putting their needs before mine. Yet I notice a cycle of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. How do I stop this? What am I missing?

God answered my prayer, but in a Spiritual Way! My companion, friend, family member was "Jesus". He guided me to a special woman, Wilma. She taught me how to open the 'Doorway' to Him, which became my "Lifeline" to a deeper and more intimate path

    Have you ever stopped caring so much that whatever happens, happens? I remember the time I had gotten in trouble by my mom because I had walked home from school.

    My thoughts were when I started to write the introduction of my book, they were what should I write? What would you, as a reader, like to know about how I came up with the idea to write my book? I was composing a little tale about my childhood (in the south), before I started writing it, and it was exciting recalling memories of it, which I had not thought about in over forty years. The Holy Ghost softly spoke to me within my mind, and told me to stop writing the short story to finish the book that I had started writing about alternative methods (herbal and food based supplements) that have helped me with some of my health problems. The herbal products that I have taken have kept my stomach pain under control for the past 22 years.…
