“Stories have a unique way of reminding us who we are and who we can become. If my books, fiction or nonfiction, can provide even a spark of hope, a moment of reflection, or a little inspiration to someone, then I feel I’ve accomplished something meaningful.”

“First and foremost, embrace your sensitivity rather than fight it. For a long time, I saw my sensitivity as a flaw that needed fixing. I’d hear people tell me to “toughen up” or “stop being so sensitive,” and I took those words to heart. But the more I tried to suppress my sensitivity, the more miserable and anxious I became. It wasn’t until I began to accept myself for who I am that I started to see my sensitivity as a gift. It’s what allows me to connect with others deeply and write stories that resonate with people on a personal level. Embracing who I am has been empowering, and it’s allowed me to harness my sensitivity as a strength.”

Called To Intercede  by Monique Rodgers
“Sometimes, others are going to persecute us for worshiping God. When this happens, we need to stay strong in our faith and remain loyal to God no matter what happens.”

“It is not our place to take revenge, but rather to leave it to the Almighty.”
J. Edwards Holt, Little Men, Big Treasures

“You are not your diagnosis. Having a mental illness does not define who you are as a person. It is a part of you, but not the whole you. You have strengths, talents, interests, values, and goals that go beyond your condition. You are not a label, a statistic, or a stereotype. You are a unique and valuable human being.”
J. Edwards Holt

“Poetry is the language of the soul, capable of expressing the deepest of emotions in the simplest of words.”
