Message from Verna:
Thanks to all of the people who have purchased a copy of the book and sent feedback to me. I am so glad that it has been a help in the various stages of your life and career. In life, making decisions that will ultimately impact you for a long time to come, can be a very daunting task. It has been my pleasure to share my experiences with you and I hope the tools and tips that I've provided in the book give you the life's lessons you need to feel empowered. There have been a million questions concerning my appearance on the show and questions surrounding what motivated me to write the book. What it boils down to is having the strength and courage to stand up for yourself whether others agree or even understand your decision.

The book Foreword is written by the renowned
Justice James E. Graves Jr., Supreme Court Justice
for the state of Mississippi. He has been an inspiration
to youth, collegiate students and professionals
everywhere. Justice Graves served as Circuit Court Judge
in the state of Mississippi for over ten years before being appointed by the Governor and beginning his term
as Judge on the Mississippi Supreme Court in 2001.
