Part III
Looking Through the Mirror of Your Soul
As you can see, this guide can be aimed at anyone. Although my main focus is on beautiful and wonderful African American Woman of size, we know that no matter what culture, size, or sex you are, this maintains to you as well. The point behind it is, love thyself before you love anyone else. It is hard enough trying to adopt to the issues that surround all that’s behind being who you are. Learning the significant reasons to love you first is a must.
Let me break it down to you sisters like this, when we exert ourselves in a way that is totally out of line to begin with, and dress all above and way out to suit the other individual, guess what that tells people? It says I really don’t care what you think, I look good! That may be the way to think as part of being positive about who you are, but! What kind of message are you truly sending out to the public, your family, friends, and whoever? This is when you ask yourself, do I love me? Or what is the meaning of loving myself? When you have established the fact you love yourself, you will dress to impress in a different manner. The way you walk and the way you talk will be a show of dignity.

End of a workday you feel a little on the stress side of certain aggravation that is normal, because of the way a job can get to you. We don’t let it for we know it is only temporary. We have not programmed our minds to keep us under the gun. We will not let the Jones get to us; it is not in our soul. No matter what the situation may be, we have made an agreement with ourselves. We will not allow the demon seed enter our womb. Hello again my favorite world, it’s so nice to be a part of you. Me, I consider myself to be a brown princess. The glow of spirit has risen in me. I step up to self-the way God has taught me to do. I have grown to love myself for who I am and the way I was put on this earth.
I have my own ideas about my life. I put my mind in the right order for me to continue to keep going on, as I should. How blessed are you? Let me count the ways. How wonderful you are? Let me show you the ways. How lovely can you be? Let me guide you through the channels.
We have grown so much larger in our own world with God holding our hands. His precious love is the best thing to come upon. I walk in the dignity that shows my grace of blackness. I know the next current event to take place will be the stars in my eyes which will enlighten more of you than anything will. I know I am blessed. I know I am a beautiful being that has blossomed into a buxom princess. God whispers to me all the time to hold his names to the highest and never give up!

About the Book
A Guide on Spiritual Growth: How Should the African American Full Figured Woman Respect Her Inner Self as well as Personal Appearance? is work in which I seek to offer assurance and encouragement for women who may have low self esteem due to unfair expectations placed on her by others.
The central intention of my text is to identify iconic images of women in modern culture and to explore the ways that these or some ideals may leave certain women feeling disassociated or disrespected. Geared toward the demographic described in my title, my guide contains advice for a woman regarding an inner perspective that I have reached in relation to my own identity as a woman and as a child of God. Combining this sense of the physical and spiritual, I touch upon such topics as complimentary styles of dress, being in touch with the blessings of life, exercises designed to encourage inner peace and self- awareness, and issues of purpose in the light of God's plan. I also advise the reader in areas related to prayer and other aspects of a relationship with the Divine, pointing out ways that I have found to incorporate matters of spirit into everyday reality. Throughout the work, I seek to keep the emphasis on positive ideas and my themes of love and sisterhood could be instrumental in leading an individual to a healthy way of thinking.
In A Guide on Spiritual Growth, I'm seeking to endow treaties with an uplifting tone in order to inspire a sense of pride and accomplishment, and I take careful consideration of the subject matter to give an overall effectiveness.

Her second novel The Love in Life Listening With Over 100 Soulful Poetry of Inspiration (which currently is in stores), is some of the best poems you will read based on parts of her life as well as anyone's. "Poetry is a gift that I feel all of us can appreciate no matter what the writer is saying. The sultry side of poetry can stimulate anyone's mind when looked deep into what the poet is saying. I find some of the poems I have written are apart of anyone's life experience one way or another, but the best of it is about sharing to the world".

Inspiration is a very versatile woman in much of what she does. She believes strongly within herself and all what she is capable of.
