My Life My Life

As a woman striving for perfection only to get hurt along the way, I wrote two books about my life and experience in ministry. 

I was hurt, wounded, broke down, depressed, could have been suicidal, but God was with me. God showed me me and allowed me to be in a place to see me, in order to start healing. 

It was easy to write these two books after learning my lesson about me. God showed me how to handle ministry differently than others were doing and how to pull myself up and tell my story no matter how it looked to me. 

I am a queen. 

I am determined. 

I am bold, daring and victorious. 

YET, I had to write about no longer being a victim to get through my challenging moments and trying time. 

The week I wrote this book, No Longer a Victim, I was hurt by a man I loved. Finding out he was cheating and really didn't care burned me to the core. I was able to write about my own faults in all relationships in this book because I could see me with clear eyes. I could see the exotic dancer Dana, the suicidal teenager Dana, the mother at eighteen Dana and the rejected Dana; thus telling my story the way I needed giving myself and other women like me a breath of fresh air. 

As an author, telling my own person story and journey, I found there are many people who fall in the category of victim calling it church hurt. This wasn't that story. No Longer a Victim(NLaV), was church hurt lessons with a side of get right. AND get right on purpose.
