Mothers and their role in my writing

I've known some amazing mothers in my life. Not just my own, but my mother-in-law and my grandmothers.

Each one has inspired some aspect of my writing.

• My mother inspired me to write about strength and bravery. I witnessed her strength and bravery many times as child.



• My mother-in-law inspired me to write about unchanging love, tolerance and peace. The 12 years I knew her while she graced this earth, I was blessed to witness her amazing character, her love and devotion to her family and her integrity.



• My paternal grandmother inspired me to write about my spiritual journey. God graced me with her for nearly 41 years. She laid the foundation to my spiritual journey when I was just a baby. I have never not known Jesus and I thank God for her in my life.



• My maternal grandmother inspired me to write my children's books. She not only gave me those two precious characters "Brutus and Baby", but she has also given me encouragement and support in all that I am.

I would be nothing without the influence, encouragement and love of these women.

Happy Mother's days to the some of the most amazing women I have ever known!
