I have three children and four grandchildren I adore. When they are little, you carry them on your hip; when they’re older, you carry them on your heart. Little did I know God had a plan for me. I wrote short stories and poems, and here I am, sharing my life story with the world. Those short stories paid off. You never know what you are made of until you have been through something.
Currently, I’m an activist for men and women in prison and my life’s companion is Lex, my toy poodle. I have always wanted to be comfortable, healthy, and a good mother. I worked at a supermarket for fifteen years prior to an early retirement from various health issues.
In 2006, both of my sons were sentenced to many years in prison. I always wondered if my sons would ever see each other again. In May of 2011, my sons finally crossed paths after seven years in the institution. They looked into one another’s eyes to say, “I love you” from 20 feet away. Shortly after, Briddle was transferred to another state facility. God gave me my heart’s desire. In the name of Jesus!
I am one of many good law abiding citizens whom would hear the word, convict, or prisoner, and I’m sorry to say, I was the first to judge that man or woman as well. Now, I have honestly learned the meaning of Mathew 7:1-5. Then I lost my children and family members to the California Correctional Institution better known as the “penitentiary.” Now I look at these men and women in a different light. With that being said, many people do belong in prison to protect our citizens from harm who commit crimes. However, not all people who make poor choices are deemed as monsters, in which have served their time… They should have a second chance at freedom. Children aren’t born bad, it’s there environment and how they are groomed to fit into our society. Although, I’m not stating that their crimes are justifiable for their poor choices, but a man or woman’s heart can be cleansed through the power of our heavenly father. Who could’ve ever told me I would find my soul mate behind prison walls, “BAM”! I can honestly say I’m happy with my life choices! Think about it, you can’t help whom God place in your life. Only God knows freedom, and happiness all comes from choices.
I have written this book as therapy to my soul and heart. My purpose in writing this book is to leave a legacy to my beautiful children and my precious grandchildren. This book has also been written to touch as many men and women in prison as possible, and encourage them to look to the Lord and to make wise decisions throughout their entire lives. I plan to live out my life and continue being a life coach to the men and women behind the prison walls. All of these young men will finally come home and be a living testimony for the Lord. (1st Corinthians 7: 19-24)
