First and foremost, it is my greatest desire to provide inspiration to women faced with painful challenges who don't realize they have choices.

Their potential choices should not necessarily follow my example because I made mistakes; nevertheless, mistakes from which I learned very valuable lessons.

I hope to inspire such women to continually move forward and grow with faith and courage, no matter the obstacles.

We are all born with a God-given right to live out our lives in peace, to grow with dignity, and live according to our own hearts.
