Dedication
With a heart full of
memories and gratitude,
I dedicate this book to my Dad
Willie R. McFerson
(Mac)
(1945-1998)
And
my mother Reverend Lillie M. McFerson
While this is the second publication of this book, I still want to acknowledge those who supported and encouraged the initial project in 2006. I am very grateful for the sister friends who God has allowed me to connect with who keep me inspired on my journey.
Acknowledgements
Writing this book has been a part of my own road trip. I am so grateful that I did not have to take this journey alone. God has blessed me from birth with absolutely wonderful mentors, role models, and friends. He continues to bring people into my life that encourage me to be who I am and to live the life that I am called to live. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my Success Team for this project:
My husband, Henry L. Robinson. Your love and support these years has made all of the difference in my life. You are my reminder that God does hear and answer my prayers, and then some.
My parents, Willie and Lillie McFerson. Mom, thank you and Dad for the awesome example of partnership and love. We miss Dad a lot, but he would be so proud of us. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement during this project.
My copy editor, Dr. Carolyn Hull Anderson. Dr. Anderson, thank you for adding yet another thing to your heaping plate and agreeing to copy edit this work. My thanks is no Mercedes Benz, but my gratitude holds the same value in my heart.
Russell (Rashaad) McFerson. You are so much more than my little brother. You are a man full of wisdom and amazing talent and insight. Thank you for your love and wisdom on this journey.
Rev. Queen Esther Thomas. I have learned so much from you about God and myself. Thank you for your generosity and for nurturing my gifts.
Barbara McGee. Thank you for being there. Knowing that you are only a ten-minute drive away is a great blessing.
My coaches, Valorie Burton and W. Rollin Henderson, Jr. Valorie, you helped bring clarity about other situations so that my womb was clear, finally, to give birth to this project. Rollin, thank you so much for your counsel and ear. Your kindness, wisdom, and genuineness will never be forgotten.
Pam Perry. Thank you for sharing your marketing and public relations expertise to keep me on the right track.
To my number one fans, Alexandria and Michael. You two make me believe that I can do anything. Thanks for sharing my time and attention so that I could complete this project. And yes, Lexi, if I need pictures for my next book, you can be the illustrator.
Most of all, I thank God for being patient with me on my quest and journey to purpose. Thank you for allowing me to be the lamp through which Your light shines.
