I published my first book (“God Sets You Up Manifesto,”an e-book), released December 28, 2014 – within a few days before the New Year. What an awesome feeling it was to meet the challenge and see myself out there with other authors on Amazon.com. It was surreal and invigorating. I had such an adrenalin rush, I had to sit down and take a break from the thought of it all. I knew if I could do it, then I could be an inspiration to others.   

2 Days and counting before the New Year

One day following the release of my new book I was offered my first speaking engagement for 2015: "Following Your Dream." What a way to usher in the new year, to be a new author and have the first event titled "Following Your Dream." The event is January 19th on Martin Luther King Holiday. It’s a very special time because we all know that Dr. King had a dream, too. He had a dream that impacted the whole world. And we (you and I) are the product of that dream. African Americans, and this nation, are privileged to do things today that were once only a dream. That’s why it is so important to dream. It’s important because dreams are a vision of something hoped for. And they really can come true...
