Changing My Direction
Change, comes from deed within, it comes from a made up mind. Focus, alone with a plan and goals. If you plan to change don't just say it, do something about it. This book, isn't for everyone, it's to those that are lost, without direction or instruments for their lives. - Pain isn't torment, pain is experience. - Pain is wisdom and knowledge. - Pain is strength. No, you don't like pain but you experience pain, to bring you to your expectation, to bring you to your best self. If you never experience pain, you will never know your character. What it is to love, to live or to grow. It is pain that you are birth into, to bring you to the beauty of living. If you fight the pain you will never understand your place in life. If you embrace the pain you will find the strength to live and to move forward through faith.

Mommy, Tell Me About God
I feel it is my responsibility to provide an avenue for young children to learn about God and his promises. Raising a child in this world can be scary and difficult; therefore, I am dedicated to using the gifts I have been blessed with to influence the lives of children and their parents. My son has been my biggest source of inspiration. He has inspired me to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a professional author. I have now completed my first Christian children's book. The main character of this book, Mommy, Tell Me about God, is also my biggest inspiration-my son, Ian. While our life experiences shape our outlook on life, they also guide the way we pursue our future interests. My name is Sharanika Curlee I was born and raised in a small town called Corinth MS. Getting to know God for myself, I quickly realized the importance of giving back. I have been blessed to work in a variety of settings and had the opportunity to encounter many people, whom I have been blessed to spread the word of God. I have worked as a optician for 14 years, certified financial loan officer for 3 years, licensed cosmetologist for 12 years and jewelry designer 10 years. While wearing many hats throughout my career I have been blessed to cross paths with many people to whom I was able to grace with God's word. I have always had a desire to make a greater impact. As a single parent to a five-year-old son, I understand the importance of rearing him in a manner that provides him with the foundation to become a happy, healthy, young man with a heart for not only serving God, but also to be a vessel of hope and help to others. In today's society, there are always opportunities to do wrong and become engulfed in a way of life that produces unfavorable results. Teach them early and if they stray they have the knowledge that was instilled in them at a young age to find their way back to God.
