My launch team was surprised at how vulnerable I was and how much I share of myself in my chapter. For the most part, I consider myself an open book. As I was preparing to teach a bible study one day, I was reluctant to say something because I didn't want people all in my business. I distinctly heard in my spirit, "You ain't got no business!"

The timing couldn’t have been worse. When all I wanted to do was curl up into a little ball and cry, I couldn’t. Or I didn’t believe I could. I had to hold it together, work, help with the arrangements and deal with the family drama that would come to the surface with my mother’s passing. So, I avoided being with my feelings of grief, loss, loneliness, longing to talk to, hug, be with my mother.
