Hello! My name is Ms. Betty. I come from very humble beginnings in St. Petersburg, Fl with my mother, father and older sister. My parents divorced when I was young and even though my mother relocated to Gainesville, Fl, I always had a very close and special relationship with my father. I grew up between Gainesville and St. Petersburg with nothing but memories of love, fun and happiness. Don't get it twisted. My family is just as dysfunctional as the next family. Now that I'm an adult, I have 2 blended families. My mother remarried and so has my father.
I have worked in various social services fields. I have worked with the HIV/AIDS community which was by far my most favorite group of people to work with due to their vast experiences with life that were truly invaluable learning lessons for me. My 2nd most fun group of people to work with is the SPMI (Severely Persistent Mentally Ill) population. They taught me to totally appreciate life and waking up in my right mind (or semi) right mind on a daily basis. I have worked with drug addicts, the homeless, addicted pregnant mothers and every other type of social woe you can think of. I'm a true lover of life and the people in it. I always want to make a difference in somebody life.
It took me 2 years to write the first book of my trilogy, which delves deep into my persistence and resilience in my relationships and attempts at finding true love. It wasn't always easy or fun, yet I'm truly thankful for each and every learning experience given me, which has taught me to really appreciate life and the many blessings God has blessed me with, and more importantly to forgive.
