On April 9, 1959, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) introduced America's first astronauts to the press--Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Virgil Grissom, Walter Schirra, Alan Shepard, and Donald Slayton. The seven men, all military test pilots, we...re carefully selected from a final group of thirty-two candidates. But the real truth of NASA's search for America's best pilots is not found in the thirty-two finalists that eventually produced Project Mercury's heroic list of space pioneers. The Original Seven Mercury astronauts chosen to lead America's charge into a new frontier were certainly worthy. They were America's best and brightest. But perhaps the very best never got the chance and served his country in obscurity.

You're there for him. I'm there for you. - God. This is more than just a statement. It's a promise. A covenant that God made to me one night in a dream that awakened my spirit with hope for the future and an unexplainable drive to tell our story to the world. This book is my pers...onal testimony about how my faith and nutrition knowledge kept my husband, Gary, from experiencing many of the side effects of chemotherapy (chemo) and radiation after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer. The documented journey is my way of connecting with others who may be looking for someone that has gone through a similar experience. And, trust me, I personally know how it feels to want to seek out answers for what a loved one is about to go through. In fact, everyone who's had someone they love diagnosed with cancer knows the anxiety surrounding the verdict. The news is life shattering. Your body goes into shock and a full-blown denial; you don't want to believe it's happening. Just hearing the word 'cancer' turns your world upside down. In an instant, your future feels hopeless. For me, the thought of losing the love of my life to a senseless disease, quickly took over my mind. I became obsessed with the thought that my life was slipping away right in front of my eyes and there wasn't anything I could do to stop it but my faith was bigger. And it was my faith that saw me through the uncertainty.

Since I can remember, I have always been asked, What does it take to keep my skin look so healthy and young? I want to answer this question once and for all. Not only my past clients ask this but also my family, friends, and acquaintances who are curious about my skincare routine.... I usually tell them that what you do will have a drastic effect on how their skin looks. Yes, it really does matter how you treat your skin. Not only is it your largest organ, but it also needs as much (or perhaps more) attention as anything else in your body. Proper skincare doesn't have as much to do with skin color, genetics, and exposure to the sun as you might think. After so many years of living my mantra of good skincare, I thought it was time to put pen to paper and share my experiences - both good and bad - about what daily routines and simple lifestyle changes can do for your skin. I hope this journey is as enjoyable for you as it is for me to share. viii In this book, we will explore some basic concepts that cover healthy skin. These concepts will build upon each other, including skincare regimen for morning and night, using skincare products correctly with high-quality ingredients, protecting your skin from the sun, eating healthy and drinking plenty of water, avoiding alcohol and smoking or being around others who smoke, exercising at least three times per week, and so much more. We will draw upon each one of these concepts individually for you to understand their impact on your skin. Remember, everything I just mentioned matters, as healthy skin does not happen overnight, and it also doesn't happen with any miraculous cure (at least none that we know of). I love taking care of my skin and I think it shows that. So, come join me on this journey, so I can share with you all my secrets to younger and healthier skin.

This is my memoir-a story of hope, strength, and life in all its sad, hopeless reality. However, no sadness remains, and so I write this as a message to all the women. It doesn't matter if you're from a broken home, or in a broken marriage, or are empathetic toward anyone who is ...in these circumstances - you will survive. I also write this to the sons and daughters who have forgotten peace in their own homes. Remember; there will be peace; you must never give up. Where there are problems, there is always a solution, and God will provide that for you. The key is patience. There's no 'easiness' in God's way. It may be perfect, ideal, and natural. However, it needs hard work. When you consider God's way, you may find that, someday, you still may have to work at it. Just because something is right doesn't mean it's easy. Someday you need a little more strength than others. But remember that God is always there to help. It is something that my mother and grandmother always reminded me of when I could not find peace.
