Biography
Update: BACK ON THE BLOCK...AMEN.

As of March 7, 2010, I am up and running, fast, faster, fastest!Of course I am multiplucious, one of many Jane Doe's in employment and causes.

My journey is not over yet! I am proud to present a new photo of my duaghter and I, and of course my own companies: Dee Delights, and Daughters, you can see the cakes if you maximize the picture by clicking on it.

I make them by scratch, and they are great, made with love, and time. I use only the best products.

Last year was one of the worst years ever:because I was going to get my updates in Criminal Law, in August,2009 and BOOM!

My oldest daughter is having a complicated pregnacy, the baby grandson, is never going to go home, and my son gets injured at College,,,, and needs emergency surgery! But, I knew where to go TO GOD!
But I'm still HERE...YES I AM STILL HERE!
THANK YOU GOD! MY CREATOR! I'M SILL HERE.

1) The loss of my grandson, of only two weeks old, and still insisted that the laws of my religion be followed.

Of course I must start a foundation for him. We called him the" Miracle Baby
So Miracle BB will be started at the end of the month. We all stayed at the Ronald McDonald House, so we give high Thanks Yous' and I had to insist that Grandma's stay to!

WE ARE THE ERECTION STONES TO THE FOUNDATION.

This took the breathe out of me, but I still must continue with my plight.
This will either cure your, or kill you!!

Well death is not in my repetoire!

Living is! I SPEAK LIFE...TO YOU, AND ME! AMEN!
so I wrote and wrote, and wrote, and studied, the Bible, through, and through, and read many women, and families that have gone through the same.

Why? I am not stuck on STUPID! i KNOW WHERE TO GO WHEN THIS WORLD IS NOT SO! God answers prayer in a storm!

My great-grandmother had her own church, way ahead of her own time.

Praye still works, YES...PRAY THE GIFT TO ALL!
anTHE DEDICATIONS.

My grandmother, and mother, knows how to call on GOD! and of course we know how to get on our knees and be humble;called humiliity.

Maybe, now that I think about it. I needed to PRAY more, and ask, seek, and knock Matt 7 :7 why there are imposible things I cannot see, do, or understand.

But GOD has the Masterplan. NOT MAN...MAN NEEDS GOD!

Never let this world drag you down, with age, wrinkles, and difficulities things you cannot possibly understand without GOD.

A Godless nation, is costing us much, and if this continues, then we are all out of luck.

But, I can tell you about the cut, the deeper it seeps, the more GoD in life you will Keep! Laugh!

Next, my son gets hurt playng football, a ripped ACL, capllaries posterior ripped, asnd torn everywhere.

Anyway, since I started in medical, blood has never feared my psyche.
So, I had to empty his blood container draining from his open surgerical wound, empty his urine pan, feed him morning,noon, and night, and WHAT DID HE LEARN...HMM!
That answer is: Nothing Is Too Hard For HIs Mother...I mean NOTHING! I only spoil him when situations like this happen!
I'M STILL HERE! AND NOT ONE WRINKLE, GOOD GENES, !
I will be going to FAMU in the COLLEGE OF LAW.
HEY! Law is my life, so is sewing, food, and Family!

I cannot live without these collaborations.

My specialness is beng a mother of (4) adult college children, (3) girls, and (1) boy.

Do I still LOVE children...hmm! You can bet your bottom dollar;although today is a challenge, and I have rethougt about this alot.
What makes me specia... always enjoying books, words, and art, babies, grandma/pa's gardening, any thing with thread,and site seeing.
I love nature, fishing, camping, and cooking, from my elders, and parents.

I am part-country, I need grass,I need water, streams, brooks, creeks, whatever the sound of water relaxes me tremendously!
I need trees, and I need flowers around me....it's in my blood, and part city,resturants, culture fusion.
Which makes me unique to survive anywhere, and anytimes. I need to touch soil, experiment, watch things grow, disconnect technology, and invent my own gadgets.
That will be comming to pas, my own gadgets, DD INventions, still in my milk crates in closet, will copyright themn this year.

I am the daughter of (14) siblings, and learned how to be my own individual. Family can be fun, and sometimes family can be fustrating!

This is life, a world of swirling twirling, and hair curling.
I have learned to love everymore deeper; regardless LOVE are the keys.

I love my granddaughter, A'Ameria, and another one is on the way, and I hope that he will be healthy too, with God's blessing, and grandmothers, to boot!

But GOD saw otherwise. So Rest In Peace...Little One!

Higher education has always been my interest, since I as a child played school teacher everyday, in and day out!

I am a teacher, a prophetess, a mother, grandmother, and an aunt. I have experienced many different styles and professions.

I have worked in the federal corporations of Dept of FBI, Dept of Defense, and the Dept of Customs (twice) in the post years as: Legal Secretary, Legal Clerk, Records Manager , and AssistantLaw Clerk.

The past, I read in the Genius World Book of a man typing 110wpm, I wanted to beat him, in which Icould have, but

I moved to Washington, DC with my grandmother who resided in North West.
I did type 90wpm, and prove that practice makes perfect.

This got me jobs at the age of 16 with the Eduational Initiative Programs at Eastern High School since my major was Business Management and Law, in the magnum program.

This changed my life, I would have never gotten this opportunity in West Virginial although the scenery is magnificent! And nature is glorious. This vision is permently stored in my menory bank. and will always cherish this state; regardling of the Civil Rights (issues)

As time progressed, I decided to take a major in Medical Technology, and Respiratory Therapy, in Pittsburgh Pa,
in which I learned many life lessons.

The first lesson was: if you want something, ASK...next lesson learn the ropes of Higher Eduation, and FAFSA, in which I put this too good use for my own children.

SQR...SEARCH, QUERY, RESEARCH. I also worked in NY for executives, owned a hair salon in NJ, and went to paralegal schooling in DC.

Now, I am waiting for my two adult children to go across the stage soon and finish college, I have faith and hope, this will come to pas.

I, as well will be giving my self another chance to be the Educator and prove my worth, the worth of a woman in higher education.

I will pass the test, because the tribulation means
pressure. The pressure has steamed away.

Winners never stop quitting, because Quittes never win, I am in this world to win, I know who I am, and Victory is my name.

The purpose never ends, my genes are embedded in my children. Win children, because when I am not in the flesh, of theis world, I have someone to carry on the baton, and cause that I endured, and changed.
Yes..A Change is A Comin' and that is OUr Future Generations!
Peace,,,And Lots of Elbow Grease!

Claim To Fame:
MY CLAIM TO FAME ............ IS WORLD PEACE, PROTECTING EARTH, AND CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ALL PEOPLE/HUMANITIES SO WE CALL ALL PROSPER! FIRST, AND FOREMOST, I BELIEVE IN LOVE, LIFE, AND LONGING COMMMITTMENTS IN FAMILY, FAITH, FOOD, AND GREAT FRIENDS. MY FIRST CLAIM TO FAME WAS PUTTING ALL MY CHILDREN IN COLLEGE, AND KEEPING FAMILY FRUITFUL! MY SECOND CLAIM TO FAME IS OMMITING POVERTY, EDUCATING WOMEN INTO INDEPENDENCY, AND SELF-SUBSTAINMENT, AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY FOR STAY HOME MOTHERS, AND WORKING MOTHERS TO UNITE WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND NOT BE MARRIED TO THEIR JOBS/BALANCING! MY THIRD CLAIM TO FAME.....KEEPING RELIGIONS, CULTURES, ETHINICIES, AND IN PEACE WITH GOD'S PLANET. WE ARE VISTORS, AND DO HOLD THE TITLE DEED TO EARTH... GOD IS THE RULER OF EARTH...NOT MANKING...ALL MUST RESPECT MOTHER NATURE....THIS BELONGS FULLY TO GOD...REGARDLESS OF WHAT AND WHOM YOU CALLED GOD! WE ARE CREATURES OF THE EARTH, AND MUST OBTAIN IT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS BECAUSE WASTE IS HASTE THAT WE CANNOT RELATE...TEACH THE CHILDREN...AND TEACH THEM WELL. TELL THE STORY OF AN EARTH ONNE WELL! AN EARTH THAT WAS ONCE NOT UP FOR SALE! FOR WITHOUT TREES, NO WOOD PRODUCTS, FOR WITHOUT WATER, THERE WOULD BE NO DRINK, NO COMPUTER CHIPS, NO COOKING, NO BATHING, NO WATER FOOD TO GROW, NO CONDENSATION, AND NO OCEANS, OR BEACHES TO SUN BATHE AND SURF UPON! WITH ORGANIC CLEAN SOIL, CALLED HUMUS, NO TOPSOIL OR NUTURIENTOUS FOODS FOR THE BODY. WITHOUT CLEAN AIR...OXYGEN, AND WE STILL NEED NITROGEN TO MAKE PLANTS/TREES GROW...WHERE WILL OUR FUTURE CHILDREN LEARN, FROM US...IS IT OK TO WASTE AWAY, AND SAY IT'S OK!
Most Memorable Moment:
My post college momorable experiences would be: cheerleading in which I enjoyed atheletics, staying in shape, studying, and cooking. I am still, in shape; and putting my physical abilities into the full support of team spirit! Next, chemical experiments in the lab, since post Medical Technologists/Respiratory Therapist, in my freshman year, and learning new experiences, and meeting new cultures, and friends from all walks of like..and laughting with my beautiful friend, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania....Debbie! While cooking and enjoying great healthy foods. Lastly, working in the office of the President, on my work-study, and being efficent, anfd effective. My current college experiences: changing the way professors treat individuals in our classroom. There are ethics problems, and unequal treatment at this college. I have never been one to be silent about abuse, regardless of how it seems invisible, it needs to come out into the light! In which I have confronted! And will be sending letters. Next, I will have a major in Criminal Justice, and a minor in Early Childhood Education K-13. Many indiviuduals at my college do not want me to earn my goals, but since I am a Woman In Ministry, they do not see the glow of God upon my life. Therefore, everything is already done....as the song goes..."It's already done..done...done, it already done-e-e don-don-done! My faith has made me climb many of mountains, and I plain to reach the apex!
