Simple Tips for Single Parents is a non-fiction spiritual journey based on my life experiences: dealing with abuse as child, teenager, and domestic violence as an adult. The story depicts struggles and hardships as a single parent from stigmas of raising a child alone, having limited financial resources, approaching new relationships and more. However, during my life I learned that despite of any and/ or all that I have endured I owe my children my very best. I learned by the strength and belief in Jesus Christ that I can overcome and endure all things and still end gain victory. Despite of it all, I have raised healthy children. I have been able to return to school and obtain a degree. Even with limited funds I have provided a good home for my family.

Dale had enough of life's lickings; but God had different intentions for her. The crushing of our fruits will be forth a sweet tasting wine! Depression is real and should be treated like any other disease and that is to nurture it with treatment, love and patience. Let your light shine to lead and encourage others. Let your hope be contagious!
