My story
I am an author residing with my husband in McCormick, South Carolina. My purpose is to shine my light, enabling others to discover their paths. For a long time, though, I resisted this calling.
Once I understood that God is not the judgmental being I was raised with but is ALL LOVE, it inspired me to explore spirituality in a more authentic, broader context.
I began studying with spiritual teachers, practicing yoga and meditation. They aligned with my belief that we are all connected, people, nature, and the universe.
In October 2021, I learned about Medium, a website for writers, and how people of all ages made genuine connections through their writing. So, in January 2022, after reading many stories, I published my first one titled, Cancer: A Positive Teacher.
Today, I am part of a community of writers on Medium. I share the wealth of personal stories I’ve written over the years and respond to others whose stories connect with the truth of who I am. They are like-minded people sharing sincerity and honesty through their writings. They honor each other’s work in gratitude and genuine support.
“My purpose in life is to shine my light, so others can find their path.”
Books have been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I used to fantasize that one day, after I'm long gone, my life would become a book, and someone will pull it out of a shelf and take it home. Then, hopefully, they'll find it an excellent read.
And here I am. I recently published my first book, The Birth of a Jewel, representing a collection of personal stories, pulled from Medium, that significantly shaped who I am today. I am excited to share the wisdom I have found in the life lessons I have accumulated over the years. Thank you in advance for pulling this book off a shelf in a library, store, or online. Know that you are supporting my dream, and I am honored and in gratitude. Thank you!
