    About this ebook

    This book is to inspire any man or woman who thought about giving up on
    their dreams. Im a living witness that God, will help you through anything.
    A product of a single mother on welfare from Cincinnati, Ohio. I lived in
    the Ghetto projects, hoping for a better life. There were some people who
    thought, I never amount to anything. I had to go through the Fire, me and
    my two children. The Fire was like a Flame. Burning for Ever!

    They say nothing good come from the project. But thats a lie from the pit
    of hell! I started working at the age of 13years old at the N.Y.C.(neighbor
    youth core) helping children. I was able to rise from poverty through work
    experience. As a teenager, I had low self-esteem and lot of challenging
    circumstances. You must have tenacity and resilient to stay focus. Be a
    dreamer, like Joseph in the Bible. I remembered the promises of God! You
    can make it. Jesus spoke to me and said all things possible through Jesus
    Christ.
