Walk A Mile in My Stilettos (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987513316)

For a long time, because of past traumas. I viewed myself as being the "ugly duckling" I had convinced myself that I was simply not enough, not pretty enough, etc. However, I am so grateful for my growth and development. Along with the power of affirmations, I realize I am more than enough; I am beautiful, I am worthy, and I deserve the absolute best. I have witnessed my mother raise nine children primarily by herself and endure many surgeries (not the least of which was a heart transplant). I have been abused sexually, mentally, and physically.

I held my father in my arms as he took his last breath. I have chased love. I have not had any children of my own and have given up living my life to please a man who bled me dry and ultimately left me for another woman. I have been heartbroken and broke financially with bad credit. I have moved back and forth from place to place, couch to couch, and state to state. I have battled breast cancer and endured multiple surgeries in an effort to save my life and to feel and look normal again. Yet, in all that I did, the one thing I did not do was quit. I refuse to give up!
