A few years back my world was crumbling around me, and I was certain I would be submersed in the ashes with no sign of reviving myself.  I have basically started a new life and today I am just grateful, and I can certainly say that faith and perseverance will help you find your victory. EVERY TIME!      Leslie - Queens Who Defied The Odds
 

When someone asks you if you want to be part of a book collaboration you can immediately freeze up. I can tell you I did.  The thought of sharing my story, any story, with the world has been daunting.  This can sound odd coming from someone that has TWO fully written manuscripts to be printed, sitting in closet.   To be honest, the thought terrifies me, sharing my life.   And with sharing in a book it is memorialized…. FOREVER (yes, that is a might long time).   I wanted to back away slow and just pretend I never heard the request.   I came up with a ton of excuses too when I was asked again.  “I have so much on my plate right now…”   “Oh, maybe in a couple of months..” “I have a book; did I tell you. I was just about to send to an editor.”  Excuses, one after the other.

​

Well, if you are reading this you know then that I got past the excuses and jumped in the fire.  I decided to write.  I wrote feverishly as there was a deadline but that kept me committed.  I am thankful for the push.  It sent over me WAY over my comfort zone. 

​

The excerpt of the book you just read sets how I came to embrace one of the biggest words in my ENTIRE LIFE,  FORGIVENESS.   Only because of a series of unfortunate events, did I end up learning what forgiveness really looks like and how to embrace it and to manifest it in all of my own life lessons.  I learned about myself the past few years and it has been difficult.  There were times I just wanted off the hamster wheel.  I kept going.

​

If you are thinking of doing something…anything and you are nervous then I implore you…DO IT ANYWAY!   Make the first step and the others will follow.  It took some big ones for me and guess what, I am okay.   You will be okay as well.  DEFY THE ODDS, you have GOT THIS!!
