I feel privileged and blessed to have been given the opportunity to reach out and touch so many fans through my book. Being able to express my experiences and insights through Poetry is a dream come true. Ive never used being raised without a mother or father as an excuse, but more of a motivation to work even harder. I was never certain what my purpose in life was, however, I knew if I could inspire others raised in similar, adverse situations it would give them a sense of hope. The gratitude in knowing that I could possibly make a difference in someone elses life is too overwhelming to put into words. Coincidentally, it might shed some light on what my purpose in life has always been!!
