    About this ebook

    In life, we don't always make the best decisions.  We fall flat on our faces.  We get back up.  We fall again.  Some people around us try to make us feel bad for our decisions and choices.  Yet, most of them have never walked a mile in our shoes.  They didn't have to think and process things we did.  We can take all the accountability in the world, yet those people will never be satisfied.  I did the best I could with what I had.  No, I didn't choose correctly.  I did what I could with the situation at hand.  What happened helped shape who I am now.  It does not define me.  Why?  Because I'm still standing here.

    Candi Usher

    I'm a mother, author, Veteran, future minister, and future psychologist.  Everything I've experienced is not just a life lesson for me, but a chance to help others and guide them through the same mistakes or keep them from making those mistakes.  My life is an open book that some may think is too open.  I don't.  I believe that it's the kind of vulnerability and accountability that can help people see that yes I'm a Christian, no my past isn't perfect, yet it doesn't define me.  It just shaped me into who I am and who I'm becoming.
