I'm NOT Pregnant
I’m not pregnant. Now that I have your attention, I want to tell you a story. I am no Martin Luther King, but I had a dream that I was pregnant in a warehouse full of women about to give birth. We were all expectantly waiting on God’s promises. The very next day at work (this was back in 2005), a lady came in for a job interview. She walked into the room where I was the office receptionist and asked me, “Are you pregnant?” At first I was shocked. Then horrified.

Happy Endings Do Exist!
Happy Endings Do Exist! I have been searching for the words to write this blog for over a week now. The fact is, I have another book coming out. Today in fact. I am so beyond excited, but I am also scared. Will anyone read it? Will anyone be blessed? Will I get to hear the stories of personal transformation? I remember standing up on stage for my first book release party. I said something like, this is as good as it gets because I’m probably never getting married so I better enjoy the spotlight now!
