I am a single mother of five living in Arizona but originally from Pa. I love to read but I also have a few stories to tell... my life has changed in a drastic way from what it use to be. I was in the streets in the worst way and believe it or not , I was just as ruthless as most men. but the day I became a mother , I changed my whole life around and chose to be a better person then I was before. I have found writing poetry and short stories was the way to vent a lot of the turmoil that was hidden deep inside of me. I chose to take my words and use them to maybe help someone else who may think or believe they are all alone in their situation or dilemma. I hope now I can tell the lessons of life I have learned and maybe give someone else hope. just remember today's lesson can be tomorrow's blessings. 

I want to send mad love and hugs to my five beautiful children, Jazzie, Nikki, Mea Mea, Maceo and Nikko. you're my reasoning for everything that I do,  my first and last thought through everything. you guys have been my biggest support system and for that I Love You beyond words 

I want to give special thanks to Noel Allen for always believing that there was something to my words and always stood behind me , pushing me to do something with my writings.  Also mad love to my messy crew, y'all have been my back bone since day one, and I love each and every one of you..Tammy,  Jacqueline, Contrena , and Cee. y'all have inspired me more then you ladies could ever know. 

Thank You Everyone in advance for taking the time to read. GOD BLESS AND ENJOY..... Shalaya.
