Two more book signings with roundtable discussions are on the books for September. I feel blessed and am a little overwhelmed by all the personal stories people share with me when they read about my story. There are a lot of hurting people in this world who are searching for a little bit of inspiration and hope. They tell me they can relate to my past, all in different ways. When I began to think about it, I have survived and thrived after so many painful experiences – ran away from an abusive home three times, was kidnapped, uprooted over 40 times, married as a child to escape my home life, divorced and became a single mom at age 30, and filed bankruptcy. And yet, I have lived and am living a blessed life; I am deeply loved by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as well as an amazing husband and family, I have travelled all over the world doing what I love and now get to touch people every day through my story. There’s hope, my friends, no matter your circumstances. There’s a God who loves you and is beside you always.
