It's time to heal your heart and take care of yourself mentally and emotionally.
Mother of 3 amazing men.

Mother of three amazing young men.

  I have had the honor of giving birth to 3 amazing young men. Yes, they were given life through me, but I was also given life through them. Through them the LORD demonstrated his unconditional love, patience, and healing power. Their success has shown me how GOD blesses his people. My oldest (to my left) is a successful singer, song writer, producer and musician. My second oldest (far right end) is an NFL, CFL, and Collegiate athletic trainer specializing in Defensive Backs. My youngest (in the middle) is one of the best Defensive Backs in the NFL currently playing for the Chicago Bears.

The joys of being a "Gammy"!

Grandmother of ZZ also known as "Gammy".

At 51 I was blessed to become the grandmother of this engergetic, beautiful, smart as whip baby girl. She makes my heart smile and I swear the sun shines brighter when my "Gammy Girl" is around. 

Miracles still happen

In 2010 doctors told Carmella she would never walk again.

 I hold this photo close to my heart because it’s the only one I allowed anyone to capture during the two years I spent in a wheelchair. It stands as a powerful reminder of all the times doctors said I’d never walk again. I remember the shame I felt about my appearance, the helplessness that weighed on me, and the string of discouraging reports I received. Adding to it all, I was going through a painful divorce. But through it all, the LORD sustained me, showing me that with Him, anything is possible, and that greater is He who is within me than he who is in the world. I am no longer the woman in that wheelchair. I chose to believe my GOD when He declared, "It is Time to ARISE." again.  Ashamed of my appearance, feeling helpless, receiving one bad doctors report after another all while going through a brutal divorce the LORD kept me. He showed me that with him all things are possible and greater is he that is within me than he that is in the world. I am no longer the woman that was in that wheelchair. I decided to believe my GOD when he said, "It is Time to ARISE".

Every woman owes it to herself to choose healing and to ARISE above abuse and trauma.

"We must make the decisive decision to ARISE & THRIVE."
