Behind the Pages

Yesterday, I participated in my very first vendor event at Lakeland Spring Vivid at Lakeside Village, and what an experience it was! The event was from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., but vendors had to arrive early to set up. As a first-time vendor, I thought I had everything packed and ready to go, my books, promotional materials, table, tent, and tent weights. Then I realized I forgot two very important things: chairs and a fan. And trust me, in the Florida heat, that fan would have bee

These past 2 weeks have been hard for me spiritually. Not because I stopped loving God or I walked away from him, but because somewhere along the way I started losing myself while trying to pour into everything and everyone else. My group HEART Ministry has been doing 5:30am group prayer calls where we war only in our spiritual language. At, first it was only supposed to be for seven days. Then it got extended and now it's been going on for almost 3 months. And while I know p

Since March 2026, life has been moving in a way that only God could orchestrate, and whew.... When I say He has been WORKING!!!! I mean nonstop. Since releasing my book, I've had the incredible honor of winning an award through Christ Lit Book Awards. I officially received my sales tax certificate, which means your girl is now an official vendor and can step outside these online streets and into the marketplace in person. I've already booked two outdoor Artisan Market Events

Okay sooo... I have to share this because God is really showing out right now!!! I'm officially working on Part Two on Faithful Journeys which is slowly turning into a series. And when I tell you the flow has been so smooth. No writers block, no overthinking, just download after download. And I'm like, "Okay God, I hear You!" I know without a doubt these books are from Him because the things He's giving me to write... Whew, it's real, it's deep, it's raw, and it's stuff that

There's something about 5:30 A.M that hits different. It's quiet, it's early, and if I'm being real, it's hard. Lately, I've been on this 5:30 A.M prayer call with my group, and we're not just casually praying, we're going in. We're speaking in our spiritual language, warring in the spirit, pressing in for 30 minutes straight. And when I tell you, this thing has been whooping my behind. My flesh be like, "Girl, go back to sleep." or "Just hit the snooze button one time." But

Today I felt a strong urge to read my bible, but I honestly didn't know what to read. All I knew was I wanted to read something in the Old Testament. So, I started flipping through pages and began reading the story of Moses in Exodus 3:10-12: "Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt." But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of

I’ve had a passion for writing books for years. But like I’ve shared before, I lost that passion for a while a few years ago. The first book I ever wrote wasn’t easy. I struggled with writer’s block constantly. It felt like I could never keep fresh ideas coming, it was an ongoing battle. But I was determined to finish, and in the end, it all came together. If I’m being honest, it turned out to be a pretty good read, even added a little Spanish for some extra flair. It was goo

Churches often do an incredible job teaching, God's goodness, salvation through Jesus, identity in Christ. But where things start to feel disconnected is in the "in between spaces" of real life. The messy, quiet, complicated parts of faith that don't always sound polished on a Sunday Morning. Here are a few examples: Loving God but struggling with consistency Being unequally yoked in marriage Saved but still battling strongholds Feeling isolated as a single believer Wanting c

I'm sitting at my desk mad at myself for even having to admit this, because I cannot believe what just happened. Let me rewind so you can get caught up. A few weeks ago, one of my best friends told me to try listening to African worship music. She was like, "It's different. Their desperation for God is just on another level." So, of course I gave it a shot. Listen, at the time, I was not feeling it. I couldn't understand what they were saying, it felt like too much yelling, j

The other morning, I made a post about carrying it all with joy. And I meant that. I even made a list of everything I’ve been carrying. Not in a complaining way, not in a stressed-out way, because honestly, I didn’t feel stressed. I just felt capable, like I could handle it. I didn’t even label it as stress. I just called it life. But by the evening, my body told a different story. I crashed. Out of nowhere, I got hit with a migraine so heavy I couldn’t function. It wasn’t ju

“For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” I just wanted to open this up by saying God is not a genie. He is not with us to grant our every wish and command. Let’s not get Big G.O.D confused with Shaquille O’Neal in Shazam or Ray J - One Wish. Jesus was talking during this moment and he was NOT teaching: Ask for anything = Instant delivery Say it once = It appears Amazon Prime = Material things on demand That

What I’m about to say today might not seem like it has anything to do with my writing journey, but it does. More than people may realize. Today, I witnessed my sister, my best friend, be placed in a very uncomfortable position… and still choose to stand in faith. Some of you reading this might be wondering, what does she have to do with your journey as a writer? Let me tell you. From the moment I even thought about becoming a writer back in 2020, she has been there for every

This season of my life has been ALOT! My writing journey has been long, hard, stretching, and yet still so amazing. Right now, I have so many things going on at once, promoting my book, creating material for new ones, managing life at home, pouring into my nonprofit Heart Outreach Inc. , keeping up with doctor's appointments, going to afterschool sporting activities, teaching children's church, attending bible studies, being on prayer calls, all while still working a fulltime

I am going to be completely honest......I didn't think my new book, Faithful Journey's: Sisterhood, Love, and Restoration, would take off. I had a lot of fear when creating this book because I know the world we live in people tend to look at your past and let that define who you are. That thought alone made me insecure and made me feel like my voice would not be heard. In my mind I kept telling myself that this isn't the book people want to read. People want drama, thrillers,

Faith Walkers I have been thinking about this since I started my Blog a few days ago. Call it cliche but I wanted to come up with a name for my supporters, and I finally found a name that feels right.... If you've been supporting me, reading my work, purchasing, following my blog, or simply growing alongside me, you are no longer just supporters. You are now my Faith Walkers. Because this journey we're on? It's not just about stories. It's about healing, growth, surrender, an

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take." The first line in this verse is very clear: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart." That means trusting God with all our decisions, our actions, our words, and even our reactions. It means believing that His ways are better than our ways, even when things don't go the way we planned. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't make p

Starting this blog feels a little nerve racking for me, if I am being honest. But at the same time, it feels right. I've realized that sometimes the only way to connect with people isn't always face to face, it can also happen through words, through shared experiences, and through stories we are willing to tell. The people who may need to hear from us may not be a phone call away, we may not even know them, but that still shouldn't be a hinderance especially if our specific s
