Dear Reader,

At age 14 to 16, she was sexually abused.

At age 18, her mom went into a vegetative state.

At age 20, she lost a full academic scholarship due to dropping out of college.

At age 23, she was in an interstate single car accident in which the car flipped. She was unhurt but traumatized forever from facing a possibly fatal situation, which she attributes as a main cause for the start of her anxiety two months later.

At age 25, her father passed away.

At age 26, she stopped trying to finish her college degree at other schools due to depression and anxiety.

At age 26, she developed minor Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

At age 27, she realized her passion for writing.

At age 30, she began to suffer from severe loneliness, hardly ever getting to spend time with anyone.

At age 31, she met her hero on social media during the covid 19 pandemic and began learning the power of positive thinking.

At age 32, her anxiety became absolutely terrifying within her mind nearly every waking moment of her life.

At age 34, she published her first chapbook of poetry by completing a challenge to write 21 poems in 21 days and her short story was selected as a top story on Vocal, a worldwide online platform.

At age 36, she published her first novel.

At age 38, she was on the New York Times bestseller list.

At age 48, she was widely known and her books on compassion and love warmed hearts and changed lives globally.
