 Awards, the finalist and the recipient,    click here.

You can't touch it or see it but you know it's there. When a woman feels sensual, that's confidence. When  a kid stands up to peer pressure, that's confidence. When a young woman leaves home to build a life for  herself, that's confidence. When a singer gets on  
 stage, that's confidence. When you're not afraid to say something new, try something new, let someone new into your life, that's confidence. We need to share it, 
 talk about it, sing it, inspire it, encourage it, project it, welcome it. That's what Project Confidence is all about  and the first step is to find and acknowledge friends who are already championing the spread of confidence  in communities likes yours. They will become our ambassadors and help up build a nation of confident  women.

Dedicated to those of you who understand firsthand, through possible similar   experiences what the lines  in this book represent. I am   indeed very thankful for my  family, my pastor, and all my  friends who were there for  me, and most of all I am  thankful for my Heavenly  Father who held my hand  through one of the most tragic ordeals in my  life, and did not leave me alone.
  
 
word from the mother.keep that in mind as I take you on a faraway journey to God, West Africa.  In February, I was blessed to travel to Ghana, West Africa.  I visited the use in the Gloria Porter Teemu, an organization that was formed there in memory of my daughterby a young boy, Anthony Tay. The trip was both fascinating and and life altering to say the least. I cried almost the entire time. It was extremely hard, for me, to believe that in 2007 some people are living in such horrid and repulsive conditions. Some of them still have no running order, no toilets are not adequate food to eat.
  
I was running as fast as my legs could carry me today was the day that I was going to pronounce my underlying love for the boy of my dreams I didn't matter is that we were only in the second grade. I was going to express my love and he would love me happily ever after.

Two dollars in my pocket would secure his love, or at least I thought. How was I to know that the two dollars in my pocket would establish a self-destructing pattern throughout my life in my search for love?

 


CD SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

 


 
"I'M CHANGING" Speaker Series DVD. In her first topic, sleeping with the enemy Yvonne shared testimonies of her personal obstacles and the journey that she took to achieve her goals, including national honors, awards, community associations, humanitarian and philanthropic endeavors.

According to von, people have a tendency to make excuses for why they are not accomplishing their goals in life, often blaming others for their defeats. Sleeping with the enemy will introduce to the viewers the face of the true enemy the man/woman in the mirror and provide them with steps that will help them change their behavior.
