This story of overcoming offers to walk with the reader as they find peace from reflection and embrace the immeasurable worth to be found in their sea glass soul. About the author My two beautiful girls and I live in a little country farmhouse down in Southeast Texas. Every year we pick mulberries off the trees and wait with anticipation for the honeysuckles to bloom. Though I may be new to the writing industry in a professional setting, it has always been a passion of mine. Close friends will tell you this was something they always saw me doing. At the young age of nine when my fourth-grade teacher brought in an author to our classroom, I had this burning desire to one day be just like her. Spring of 2021, God woke me up at about 3 AM and said write. For a few seconds with half dazed sleepy eyes, I questioned Him. I still remember the words, “Ummm …. God …. life is sort of messy right now, you’ve got the wrong woman. “ Again, He prompted me to write. So, I agreed. I opened my black leather journal, turned to the back pages and my pen let loose. When I say this is a book from Him - let me tell you it is!! He gave me the title, the subtitle, the chapters and what every single one was going to be about. About two hours had passed and there in the middle of my living room floor feeling complexly broken - God was saying it’s time to share daughter. Within the short years I have been on this side of heaven, my life has been less than easy. I have struggled with feeling broken and have watched how this world creates sharp edges from those experiences. Yet through the years of watching my mother fall sick with a terminal illness, several miscarriages and a divorce - God picked up my pieces and made them into something beautiful. This book shares my heart and soul for people. I prayed many years ago for God to give me the eyes and ears to see people as He does. I believe through the experiences He’s allowed in my life He has done just that. The chapters mirror my desire or life mission as you will, to see people restored to a healthy state of mind.
