The book connects the reader’s heart and soul into the world of a young girl born into the throws of tragedy, but she miraculously survives. The threads woven throughout the chapters share intimate details of her life’s challenges of domestic violence, the shame from rape, and two traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) suffered as an outcome of severe car accidents. In a maze of grace, she discovers how bondage, pain and suffering helped shape and refine her mindset in battling her greatest achievement in life…freedom to aspire to the woman she was meant to be.
While walking into the fire of darkness, she was lost and alone in a mind of her own. She realized the only person who could save her from a broken, shattered soul was herself. The God spark within her, was a flicker in the night, so she dug down deep to let her light shine bright.
The resiliency of the human spirit became her crown of jewels that lit a path so sacred for her self-love to shimmer through. How she walked through the fire was just as important as how she walked out of it. A more brilliant, courageous, wise, and forgiving soul with feathers in her hair, stardust on her face, and the cosmos as her cape. Her super power was God’s light force from within and her voice would never be silenced ever again.
She blazes a trail as an advocate of light for those who walk in her shadows to bring healing and recovery, courage, and choices for positivity and light for living a life of glow. Redemption and transformation take perseverance, commitment, and hard work, but the rewards of walking in the light far surpass anything she leaves behind.
Choosing to live in the magic zone is choosing a life of possibilities where you become whatever your imagination envisions for you. Whatever you believe you want in life are wishes fulfilled. It is where the extraordinary becomes possible. You are pure magic and can make dreams come true…if only you believe in you.
