The book is one of poetry; the channel of a similar name is a daily gift to attest to the resilience of the human spirit as seen thru oracle reading.

What have I not had to overcome? Some demons awakened by my own invitation. My middle name is “and get over it”. As a child and the oldest of 3 we moved 7 times before the age of 8. I had to fight ;children can be cruel. I found comfort in drugs and alcohol. After 22 years of the progression of that disease I had to come to grips with my addiction, the lost of my Mother and my Baby Sister whom I adored. In the work world I found myself in a battle with systematic racism for 18 years as the first African American female firefighter in Howard County Maryland. Everywhere I have been I have had to fight. The ground seemed to be perpetually moving from under my feet. Astrologically I am Sagittarius sun with a Leo moon and a Taurus rising. This means I was built to broaden horizons, to shine, to laugh, and to all things gladly with ease in my time. My circumstances dictated I would have to fight for it all from the beginning.
