This is a book about our changing world -- the Spiritual content is the important aspect. Finding Truth and migrating to a thought process which helps us to move away from the avarice and greed -- so prevalent today.

Incorporating the teachings of the Church Fathers and our Lord Jesus Christ -- may we find our way back to that happiness and zeal through a greater understanding of God, Jesus and Mary.

As I commit this book to press I pray the Lord will truly bless The people who will read this work In whatever station they are on earth May they not forget to in the Lord confide Knowing He will always by by their side As reading through the pages of this book At themselves they’ll truly take a look Perhaps in some line or verse May be renewed-may find new birth Most readers I will never know My prayers are with you-God loves you so
I had asked the ultimate question; what is Life before and so now my prayers were being answered. I was about to find out for myself. Never imagined this is how God was going to capture my heart but he did and so the journey begun. This provided insight on how God healed my broken heart as he mended and repaired my being. At first it felt like I went in for an open heart surgery and I was not on any medication so every single thing that was touched on I really felt it. As painful as some of the things done to me in the past felt, I came to understand that was the reason why my Lord was there so I chose to allow Him into my life for healing to begin. It was in Him to give and so a new heart was provided for me to be able to live pain free. As I accepted the gift I was given I felt the heart beat like never before. A tear drop rolled down my cheek and I knew I was transformed. I came to find out it was new life in me. I was coming out a new person, a new being who was no longer conformed to the world but renewed, enlightened & enriched. I woke up and realized I was no longer sleeping beauty as I got the awakening. To me that was healing from the house of heaven. I was now free from heartache, no longer day dreaming but living the dream. The documentary touches on life experiences and showcases a woman's journey as she worked to free herself from oppression rebuilding her life to make it out of the wilderness alive. It turned out to be a journey of a lifetime.

I used to wake up in the middle of the night having dreams that I had not finished some of my homework. I still have these nightmares even now. I could see a therapist about these dreams, but I already know their origins. When I was growing up, I was always walking the line between trying to be normal and figuring out how to exist with glasses, and the thought in the back of my mind was, “You cannot fail." Even as I am in retirement, I find it difficult to accept that I cannot be everything that I was. Hopefully in sharing my story, it can inspire students and others to persevere, like I learned to do. Sometimes I wake up and think about my life and my accomplishments. Other days I wonder did I really even do some of the things I recall. The pressure to remember my accomplishments is what causes me to press forward in capturing details for this book. Ultimately, what I have become is not something that I did by myself. First, I had the grace of God and second, I had interactions with people who I met along this journey. At the end of each chapter of this book I have created a section called Voices from the Journey. These voices are the reflections of students, friends and colleagues. This book could not have been written without the contributions from a number of people --Angela Brathwaite who was one of my former students, took the draft of my plain historical document and turned the draft into a story and throughout this process hopefully made me a better writer.
Finding Your Way is a book of spiritual rediscovery which inspires and shows you how to discover and achieve your greatest asset and then contribute it to the world. This empowering book will affect anyone seriously interested in changing their lives, discovering their strengths, attacking what prohibits them from moving forward, improving their thinking, career and financial status, and most importantly their faith in God. I was inspired to write this book because I have suffered crises and in faith. I claimed to have faith in God, yet made the wrong decisions, lacked the proper direction, and experienced homelessness and lack which resulted in mistakenly feeling abandoned by God. Why do many believers experience disruptions, setbacks, and a lack of vision - the vision set forth by God for us? Some are suffering in the lack of spiritual awareness, wisdom, patience, mentorship, and true faith in God. Finally I found my way. This book takes the reader into a journey of the self, knowing God, and learning to recognize His voice. What does it mean to be faithful to God's word while developing spiritual maturity, spiritual leadership, and spiritual entrepreneurship? Through lessons learned, "Finding Your Way," offers a spiritual, inspiring, and personal application of receiving God's favor and abundance.
