I HAVE A PURPOSECarmen has always been a fighter. She has fought to escape the control of her dominating father, carried the dark secret of an abusive family member, and been beaten by a boyfriend who would rather see her dead than let her go. Her mother can’t protect her, and Carmen knows that she is the only one who can save herself.
All that changes when she meets Tony. From their first conversation, they know that they’ve found something special in one another. But when a confrontation with a family friend sends Tony to prison, Carmen is forced to make a difficult choice. Should she give up the love of her life, or risk everything to save her marriage? Through one tragedy after another, Carmen is forced to rely on her own inner strength to keep herself and her family from falling apart forever. In this uplifting narrative, Carmen and Tony face betrayal, loss, and hardship. I Have a Purpose celebrates the lessons pain can teach us and the joy that true love can bring to our lives, no matter what the circumstances may be. |
IMPERFECTLY PERFECTIn this humorous but realistic insight about women, I share how simple yet complex we are. Let’s be honest: Women can be a challenge to understand. Even among ourselves at times, we are peculiar beings. We demand it all- career, love, children, and more- and most times, we deserve it. After all, we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and sacrifice so much. Surprisingly, it is the small things we forget to do, like laugh. I’m not talking about that little giggle thing we do trying to look cute. I’m referring to the kind of laughter you feel in the pit of your gut, and it feels like you’ve been doing sit-ups all day. What a joyous (and painful!) feeling. Do you still have that kind of laugh? Or are you caught up in the things you demand but have yet to have or experience?
I know, disappointment is no laughing matter. As women, we are the ones who feel obligated to smile when everyone else can express their vulnerabilities and pain without reprimand. But we can control this mindset. The first thing we need to understand is that we are not perfect! Ladies, beating ourselves up evokes no remedy or relief. We must not take ourselves so seriously and learn to laugh with humility. We are imperfectly perfect! Embrace It. Love It.

DEAR 2020 – The Unpublished ManuscriptDear 2020 is an unpublished manuscript capturing the experiences many people faced during the pandemic.
The stories are true, gathered from countless interviews that reveal the impact COVID had on lives, families, and businesses. Out of respect for the many lives lost, the book was never released. Yet within its pages are powerful reflections of businesses shuttered, dreams paused, and the emotional rollercoaster of fear, resilience, and hope. Dear 2020 remains a testimony and a time capsule — a reminder of how the pandemic reshaped our world and strengthened our purpose. |

A Collection of Letters is written by everyday Americans who care deeply about where we are as a nation and where we are headed. These letters reflect voices filled with concern, hope, and sometimes dismay about the current climate of our country.
Each letter carries truth — raw, unfiltered, and honest. They remind us that behind every opinion and every emotion, there is a human being trying to make sense of our nation. These are not political statements; they are human ones. They speak to what we are feeling, what we are witnessing, and what we are still hoping for. This collection invites us to pause, listen, and lean in, not to argue but to understand. It is a mirror held up to America, asking us all to look a little closer and remember our shared humanity. Through these letters, we find connection, courage, and maybe even the first steps toward healing. Because at the heart of it all, A Collection of Letters is about purpose — the purpose to speak, to listen, and to fight for what we treasure. |
