About this ebook
LaMeshia Shaw-Tanimowo
LaMeshia “So Melodic” Shaw-Tanimowo LaMeshia Shaw-Tanimowo was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, and has been singing, writing poetry, songs, and short stories since her youth. Her creative style is like no other. Her written words are both profound and inspirational. Vocally she brings a heavy dose of traditional and contemporary gospel, combined with the soulful sound of blues, and neo soul, which creates a powerful harmonious tone that, will both soothe you and send chills down your spine. When being described by others, they would often say she was melodious or sounded “so melodic,” and from that she adapted to the nickname “So Melodic.” She currently resides in Georgia with her husband and servers as Founder and CEO of So Melodic Enterprises. LaMeshia is more than a psalmist and a poet and is currently working on her first novel “The Million Dollar Secret” and a life coaching book entitled “Overcoming Betrayal,” as well as Gospel and spoken word cd’s. Mrs. Tanimowo has just begun what seems to be a promising career. There is no doubt that she is a talented vocalist and writer. However she is also a dynamic actress and speaker. With so many gifts and talents, there is no telling what she will do next. When asked to describe herself, she humbly says with a smile “Predestined!”

JESUS ~ YOU ARE THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING! I LOVE, HONOR, AND ADORE YOU. YOU ARE MY SOURCE. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF MY GIFTS TALENTS, AND ABILITIES. I OFFER THEM ALL BACK TO YOU AS MY WORSHIP, FOR WITHOUT YOU I AM NOTHING. THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND FAVOR YOU’VE BESTOWED UPON ME. I LIVE TO WORSHIP YOU MY FATHER, MY GOD, MY FRIEND, MY SAVIOR, MY KING! I THANK YOU.
So many people have made an impact on my life. Some of those people I haven’t seen nor spoken to in years. However there was something said or done that touched my life forever, and helped groom me into the woman that I am today. Whether I’ve known you for years or we’ve just crossed paths, you supported me with your kind words or a hard nudge, and for that I am eternally grateful.
I would like to give a special thank you to my Mommy, the number one supporter of any and everything I have ever dreamed of doing Faith McGill-Ivy. You always encouraged me to chase after my dreams at all cost and to keep God first. You showed me the real meaning of love, sacrifice, and consistency. I love, honor, and cherish you for being the best mother God ever crafted. You have always been my number one inspiration in all I set out to accomplish. I live to bring God glory and to make you proud! Thank you so much for your love and unselfishness. Thank you for putting me and my siblings first and always making sure we lacked nothing. There are not enough words in all of the languages combined to describe the love and gratitude I have for you. I just wanted the whole world to know how blessed I really am, to my Dad Andre Shaw, We have a special bond that not even the devil can break. We often laugh about how many things we have in common, but it is those things that I admire about you most! I am grateful that you are a part of my life. I love you more than words can express, and I’m starting to understand that no matter how old I get I will always be your baby girl, and I’m cool with that (smile). To my husband, Olumide Tanimowo, I get teary eyed just thinking about how blessed I am to have you in my life. How I must truly be favored by God for him to create such a special, loving, handsome, intelligent God fearing man just for me! You have treated me like a queen since the first day we met. Your love for me has never changed. Thank you for being my everything! Your titles changed a lot throughout this book writing process. You were my personal assistant, my editor, my errand runner, my manager and so much more but you never stopped being my husband and friend. Thank you for your love and support. I love you baby! To my grandparents; Rosetta McGill & James (Minnie) McGill, Millie Shaw & Dennis (Willa) Shaw. Your strength and sacrifice is the reason I can even follow my dreams today. I may get in trouble for this but I must say I don’t think anyone could love you more than I do. To my siblings AJ Jones Jr., Patience Ivy, and LaTrisha Ivy, Wow what can I say? I love you all so much with the deepest love I know. I hope that I was as great of a big sister
as I think I was ha ha! You all have been my babies since day one. The bond that we have is so pure and genuine that no one will ever be able to reproduce it or ever take your place in my heart. You are my everything I love you and I am so proud of each one of you. I know you have so much in you that I can’t wait ’til God pours it out of you. Know that the love that I have for you runs wider than any ocean and that my heartbeats only because you are in it. I love you three, but I still will whoop you ha ah ha! Conquer the world one dream at a time and every time you look behind you or to your side, you will always find me there. To my Step brothers and sisters Christopher Ivy Sr., Pastor Cynthia Wolford, Vircy Carter, and Roman Douglas I love you all so much I am so blessed to have you be a part of my life. When our lives blended you loved me like we were blood and became the big sisters and brothers I never had. You imparted life into me and supported me in ways some people pray their blood families would, thank you. To my God sisters and God brother Dawn, Kayla and Donald Muldrow, I love you always and forever. To my nieces Centoria and Artaja and my nephew AJ, Jones III, your existence brings me so much joy. I love and miss you guys so much. You will grow up and do great things because there is greatness inside of you. To my God Mom Michelle Mills (who will probably kill me for putting her name in the book, yet it’s a risk I am willing to take ha ah ha!) To some it all up you are just awesome! You don’t let me pout, you didn’t allow me to give up and you are dependable. You never tried to replace the awesome mother I already have you just accompanied her. You have been my shoulder to cry on, lean on, pray on, complain on, and yet you never were afraid to keep it real and stay on my case. When I needed someone the most and I was too far from home, you were there and I can never repay you for that. Your heart is as big as the earth we live on. Thanks for including me in it, I love me some you! To all of my nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, other step brothers and sisters(Shawn, Tracy, Arietha, Latrice, Lil Arthur, Lisa and Shyra), friends and church family, you are my joy. Extra special thanks to my cousin-friends; Hope Garrett, Porsche Harris, Antoinette Richardson, and Shena Dreyfus, I love yal so much, smooches!
