I am new to this group but have been using Goodreads for several years. I am an aspiring author and still working on my first book, a memoir. I am an avid reader and reviewer. I have an open mind and do my best to let Romans 14:19 guide my reviews; "So let's agree to use all our energy in getting along with each other. Help others with encouraging words; don't drag them down by finding fault." My inspiration to write is my son. I am a white star momma and keeping his memory alive gives me purpose. Connie Neal wrote, "When you appreciate yourself in all your uniqueness, you will dare to hold your life up to the light. You will dare to live out the beauty you were created to express. You will keep your life cleaned and polished with the forgiveness of God." Since my son went to Heaven it has been difficult to remember to live the beauty I was created to express, yet I will not let my sadness take hold, I will honor my son and allow God to guide me into the future. I am excited to be part of this group. Thank you for the invitation.

God is the only way to get through the grief. I don't know what I would do or where I would be if I didn't have God in my life!
