The truth about one woman's experience as a young girl growing up, being lost, searching for love and validation in all the wrong places and faces. Men were the least of my problems. I had spent so much time chasing the dream of a better life I thought only men could provide me that I didn't realize the rest of my life had gone to shit until it was too late to just walk away. Why were some women so blessed to have great men take care of them and love them, yet I was left with memories of millionaires who promised to call but never did? I'd always wished I had an older sister that I could ask for advice but I didn't have one, so I listened to my heart instead of my mother. Miami is a dangerous place for a young girl with a pretty face and no direction. I would be lying if I said I didn't have some great times bottle popping in VIP, and being on romantic dates with sexy successful men willing to give me money to buy the dream of a reality that never did become mine. All I ever wanted was a good life and someone to love me. Instead I found myself left with no man, no money, no car, no job, and living back on my mother's couch without a plan B. My relations were supposed to become relationships and I didn't understand why I wasn't the girl they chose to share a life with. What was I going to do? I could continue to spend my days crying and wishing I had done things differently or I could be the type of woman that God intended for me to be, strong, self-sufficient, focused and phenomenal. I had made a lot of mistakes, but I also learned many lessons which I used to dig myself out of the holes I once thought were too deep to get out of. I am not an expert on anything except what it took for my life to go from sleepless nights filled with regrets to waking up every morning overjoyed and excited with purpose. I wanted to be the kind of woman any man would be proud to have standing next to him and other women could look to for inspiration. Although I didn't always have it together, I found my way and I am truly Happy. This book is a tale of escapades that I swore I would take to my grave, but felt necessary to share because I learned so much from each experience. I share those lessons not just for money or fame, but because that little girl that once yearned for a big sister wants to be that person for someone else. For the single father raising an impressionable daughter, for the young woman who doesn't want to admit when she feels lost and confused or anyone with the courage to rebuild a foundation that was always meant for greatness, this book is for you. Each chapter holds a piece of my life that I once wished I could erase but I know that those tests are my testimony and this is my story... Be blessed.
