The most difficult aspect of writing my chapter was reliving the memories when I wrote about my Mother in the book. That was a very hard time for me.
Why do you write?
I write to express my feelings and share how God is able to touch so many lives. I love writing about my truth and being authentic. Writing gives me relief a sense of letting go and letting God.
