“You are no longer a product of your past; you are a facilitator of your future.” This book is a journey of healing and self-awareness. It gives the reader an opportunity to look at life differently, putting the past into proper prospective. The reader will grow from saying proudly “I am me” to proclaiming “I AM MORE. ” The reader has the opportunity to assess and reassess their lives in a way which separates the pains of the past from the events of the past. The reader will be able to look at themselves and find their hidden goals, gifts, dreams, and unacknowledged accomplishments. There is nothing stopping you from becoming “more” except the thought that you are “less.” You are “more.” So, allow the words to echo in your mind heart and spirit – “I AM MORE!”“[Ms. Toni’s] intelligence plus wisdom encapsulates the strength and courage and radiates throughout this book. I haven’t read a book in a while that speaks to my humanness, spirituality, and addresses my emotions. As I was reading this naturally, my minds-eye began to travel and the growth that is so evident and where God wants me to be relationally with Him was shown.” -- L.J., Richmond, VA“Toni, from the opening acknowledgments, I knew that this was coming from your soul and I’m proud to know of a woman who has endured so much, yet has prevailed and triumphed over adversity. And you did it with grace and sophistication. Well done!!!” -- K.L, San Diego, CAMs. Toni could have allowed life’s painful events to destroy her, but she refused. Instead she chose to use those experiences to help others identify the level of their greatness. When asked how she survived, she answered “It was a journey and it’s not over.”
