I was raised in a town called Summit, New Jersey. My father was a successful executive and my siblings and I were priveledged to have a lucrative upbringing. I have struggled with mental illness and Lupus Disease. I am now stable on medications and dealing with a chronic dissabling disease. I have to keep my mind focused on God and His mercies. I believe He has brought me through many catastrophes to share with others the hope we have in connecting with the ones we love.
