History and Purpose
This workbook is first and foremost an assignment from the Lord. In 2001, the Lord placed me in an environment where I served a population of people who for the most part presented as hopeless. As a result of this experience, I felt a strong compulsion to do something, because at a point and time in my life, I too was very hopeless. Fortunately, with the Lord’s hand over my life, He led and guided me along a path where I was able to move beyond a life of hopelessness to a life of complete joy, hope, and fruitfulness. I wanted the same for the population I served. I was determined to work towards bridging the gap between the abyss of hopelessness, and the realization of attaining and living a fruitful and hopeful life.
Armed with this determination, various data gathering tools and intervention techniques, I was able to probe more into the root cause of this deep-seated feeling of hopelessness. I soon realized the problem stemmed from any one, or a combination of the following situations:
· Childhood trauma, or a traumatic event that was never resolved, and as a result the individual set out on his or her life journey with a defeatist posture.
· An on-going losing battle with substance abuse and/or mental illness.
· A series of setbacks and disappointing events that seem to have crippled the individual’s ability to think rationally, and act responsibly.
· A perpetuation of generational woes or curses.
· A decline in one’s morals, values, and spirituality as a result of living a “lie” and/or a reprehensible lifestyle.

About the Author
I was born and raised in
In June 2001, I went to work at a correctional facility as an instructor teaching parenting, life skills, and anger management classes to the inmate population. I was unaware of the tremendous spiritual impact this employment opportunity would have upon my life.
Working with the inmate population was very rewarding; however, I felt compelled to broaden my horizons with the gift I have for teaching and encouraging others. This curriculum/workbook is the product of that compulsion. In the capacity of a Spiritual Life Coach, it is my heart's desire to continue empowering others spiritually.
