(Bethune Cookman University students & Professors with Transition, February 2007)
Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that I have created a site specifically for my book, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers.
The new site is called, www.transitionunleashed.com
Why am I doing this? Because I believe the message of Transition is worth it and your growing positive feedback about the book seems to be a good indicator. You will not believe some of the stories I hear. They have been both amazing and humbling. An interesting phenomenon is that Transition is seriously resonating with women. Mothers are reading it and giving it to their sons. Wives are taking it from their husbands! Sisters are telling their sisters…

“DESTINY IS WAITING ON US”
My Writing Accountability Partner, Tisha Y. Lewis, spoke these words to me after hearing about my speaking opportunity at Bethune-Cookman University in January ’07: I was able to dialogue with Communication and Theater Arts students about linking their experience with opportunities while sharing from my book, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers. This was an exciting and uncomfortable time: exciting because speaking here was one of my dreams; uncomfortable because I had never done it before. Yet through the mixed emotions, there was fulfillment!
“Destiny is waiting on us.” This phrase is fascinating, yet unnerving because destiny is often thought of as something we wait on. But similar to the scientific discovery that light is both particle and a wave; perhaps we too will realize that destiny is both given and received.

THE POWER OF WORDS
There is a power that comes from being able to verbalize the dreams that live within you… Fear often keeps us from giving sound to thought. Yet, when we are able to declare our intentions - faith builds within us.
What is the dream that lives within you… the dream that has never died… the dream that refuses to remain ignored - trapped in the darkness and flooded over with layers of life’s concerns? God has placed at least one dream within each of us - as a seed waiting to take growth when we come to Him through Christ. This… deepest of dreams will always be larger and more engrossing than any dream we can create ourselves. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)
