	Becoming a child's hero is not for the faint of heart, it involves getting knocked over a few times. Therefore, if one person can benefit from my experience, living through it has a lot more value.
	The key to happiness does not depends on who you are, or what you have or even what you can do. It is being content with your choices.
	Love sometimes involves putting the interest of others before the interest of ourself.   Being mindful of the things that are important, the goal then is to be affectionate, forgiving and understanding, and for our minds to be free from the past inorder that we may be able to accept the present. The present may not be the way we imagined and blessing sometimes comes in ways we never thought of.

I knew the joy of having given birth to children and the excitement of the coming home of chosen ones. All the joy and excitement however, did not enpower me to be able to cope with the special needs of our family. Translating my thoughts and feelings into poetry, created a healthy outlet by which to release frustration. My journey from mother to published author has been very cleansing.   My struggling, loving and advocating for my children has been very rewarding in its self; and while my first book Fantasy/Controversy or my Reality is the unveiling of some of my emotional struggles, it is also about the various faces we wear as parent, children, men, women, lovers, spiritual beings and more.    This book is dedicated to hurting children every where, as I attempt to give them a voice through some of my poems.
