Throughout my life, I have faced the challenges of less than thinking. Born into a life of abuse, words that belittled were mostly all I heard.

Self esteem was a luxury I was told I couldn’t afford. Beginning with the color of my skin to my reflection in the mirror I had come to believe all of me was ugly and undeserving. As an adult and married woman, I was berated, showed and told, loving my self was selfish. Encouraged to put my wants and needs aside for the benefit of others. Seeing the beauty in me had always been a struggle. My talents and strengths were chalked up to wasted potential. My inner being was beginning to die, from being poisoned and undernourished. Until one day I heard a voice speaking Godly words, I had forgotten or perhaps never heard. Almost 40 before I discovered who God said I am, Almost 40 before I began see it, Almost died before I believed it. Today I sat before my desk at my “In the meantime Job” looking through my tablet of goals, aspirations and affirmations. This is what I read.

• I AM A #1 BEST SELLING AUTHOR.
• I AM DISCIPLINED IN MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT
• I AM A WOMAN OF PURPOSE AND DIVINE DESTINY
• MY STRENGTHS ARE GREATER THAN MY WEAKNESSES. I AM GROWING AND EVOLVING
• I AM IN CONTROL OF MY THOUGHTS, NOT ENSLAVED TO THEM
• I AM INDEPENDENT AND SELF SUFFICIENT, RELYING ONLY ON THE GRACE OF GOD.

Diagnosed mentally defective at the age of 26, rejected and hated as a mistake by my own mother. Ostracized by society and my peers. Abused, neglected and demeaned by my spouse. Affirmations of faith and belief run deep, for me they are no longer just words I see or say, but a truth that speaks from the depths of my soul, whispered in my ear by the very voice of the God I know, love and serve. You see I AM his masterpiece and I know without doubt, I was created for great things. My best and brightest days are in front of me, and those days of less than thinking and not knowing who I am, are behind me. My mind has evolved and I am forever changed.
