The Warrior Within Me

God spoke to me in the morning, afternoon and evening. I was at work, and He dropped poetry in my spirit. He was speaking my love language in the depths of my heart, my soul, and my mind. Whenever I was upset, sad or feeling lonely, He dropped poetry in my spirit. When I had experienced heartaches and/or was confused, God dropped poetry in my Spirit. God was always speaking to me in my love language, and I loved and still love it as it keeps us connected, Spirit to Spirit.

Most of my life I had to fight to be seen, to be heard, to be me and through writing, I found myself, I found my voice, I found my appreciation for myself. Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, sounding like I am straight from Alabama. I used to question why I had a country twine, why I looked the way I looked and sound the way I sound. I would question the words I'd heard in my mind and the rhythm within me. So, here's bits and pieces of me, here's a part of my heart that's shared in this book of poetic stories that freed me from any and every insecurity I have ever had or have ever experienced. I thank God for that, Amen!!!
