Book Cover & Preview Text
Preview Page I want to be free from the snares of my past and I want you to be free too. Freedom comes when you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was tired of running from bed to bed, restaurant after restaurant, mall after mall, deceiving others and receiving money knowing there is an ulterior motive. Enough is enough. Don’t touch me, talk to me or approach me unless you are ready to deal with a woman of substance. Substance doesn’t refer to the size of your breasts or waistline, where you live, the car you drive or how beautiful you may look. Substance is the content of your character and your ability to defy all odds. After many years of mess I’m ready to stand for the ability to be beautiful, bold, powerful, educated and free. Not allowing myself to be captive by sexual pleasures or financial gain. Everything not like God is being removed and the process is painful but worth it. This is not my first, second, third, but forth time being at this place. What separates this time from the rest is the ability to see my purpose and destiny. I understand through failures, objections, and rejections my opportunities for growth were perfected in the heartaches and pain of my life. God does his best work in bad situations. Please stop thinking you are a failure or a mistake. We all have done things we are not proud of. We were all created to do something great. Stop having a pity party and understand you were born to conquer. My body cries out daily in search of a man that will provide temporary pleasure. Everyday there is a battle between right and wrong. Why do things that are wrong feel so much better than what’s right? I want to be pleasured by sleeping around, smoking weed, getting drunk, partying and having explicit conversations. This does not reflect a woman of substance. When you do not recognize who you are, you will settle for less. Why can’t I get out of this situation? Why do I keep going around the same mountain over and over again? When will my mighty man of valor come? Why can’t I be happy? All of my friends are in love and getting married, when will my opportunity come? Why am I so depressed? Why do I feel ashamed of my past? So without hesitation we think a relationship, drugs, alcohol, gambling or shopping will cure our feelings when it’s only a temporary solution. When you permit change to come, the man who approaches you will not be attracted to the physical aspect, but your spirit, intellect, and heart. We need to stop looking to men with a hidden agenda. Stop acting like you have all of the control. Just be you. Stop sizing him up and feeling what you have to offer is trimmed in gold. Keep in mind there will always be someone bigger, better, stronger and much faster. Don’t get me twisted there is nothing wrong with confidence, but if that’s the way you think that’s what you will attract.

In this book you will discover you have the ability to overcome and be victorious. Everything you have been through was preparing you for something great. You do not have to remain bound by your past or permit your current situations to dictate your life. It’s time for you to be free.
