About the Author

I am a fifty-nine year old retired nursing assistant and childcare provider, single parented mother who raised three grown children, grandmother, and great grandmother of ten. I’m a devoted born again Christian graduated from and received my Bachelor and MBA degree at age fifty-five. I decided to move away from my hometown when I graduated and I moved to a small town about 70 miles away so that I could have some personal space from my family (they were all adults anyways). I needed to think about my future so, while I was there in that small town I found an apartment in a senior citizen complex and I had privacy and lots of time to think. I had always said to myself that I wanted to write a book about my life and I just decided to do just that, and this is when I started to write this memoir about myself. It took me about two years and I finally finished it. I’ve always held these two scriptures in my heart: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me.” (Philippians 4:13) “And my God shall supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
