Author Description

Inner feelings of restlessness grew, as my family began to live their own dreams and aspirations. I developed a strong inner craving to reach out to others, but acknowledge the fact that at the age of sixty eight years, with only a high school education, there were limited ways and time in which to fulfill my dream. Throughout my adult years, I constantly received encouragement from family and friends to face my multiple life challenges by writing memoirs. In 2004 I was again approached by two dear friends in Florida. One of my close friends said "Jeannie think of all the women that you will not only help, but YOU WILL TOUCH " Thus, those three magic words were spoken and finally I heard their message. This autobiography expounds on my life struggles, accomplishments, love, happiness, laughter, humor, sorrows, fears, devastation, and tragedies. Hopefully, after one finishes this book they too will realize that the virtue of perseverance does prevail. Writing my autobiography helped me with the catharsis of my life, body and soul. Praise the Lord.
