I believe everyone is here for a reason. They are here for a purpose. I believe that life is a gift to be enjoyed not endured. We are here to thrive not merely survive.

Whether it’s penning My Growing Pains Series or my upcoming non-fiction books, or coaching first time indie authors or helping people with their relationships; I’m always discovering new ways to help people live their best lives possible.

When I’m not in author/coach mode, I love reading and watching sports football, basketball, tennis, golf yeah basically all of them.

I’m also a big TV watcher (maybe too big? Nah no such thing). I love my soaps; soaper for life love my night time dramas. These are enjoyable and a perk is it also helps with my creative thinking/writing process. ...more

Slow Down

One morning I got out of my car and walked hurriedly toward the ATM. There was a gentleman some yards in front of me who had parked and got out of his car to walk to the ATM also. We both stopped to avoid walking ahead “skipping” each other. The man smiled at me and told me “go ahead baby” (everybody in the NOLA calls each other “baby”). I returned his smile and walked hurriedly ahead.

Kenyan,
I finished reading your book. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for letting me read it. It reminded me of when I was a teenager. I went through a lot of the same things that Kendra did. Some things were different but similar in a lot of ways. I grew up uptown, but my parents didn’t have a lot of money either, so we had some of the same struggles that Kendra’s family did. You brought back a lot of memories for me as I read through the pages of your book. You have a knack for writing. I hope you do really well in the future. I look forward to reading your next book.
Thanks,
Tara
