Though faced with many challenges in her childhood and youth, Nylah was determined to make the best of her life in every way possible. But she met and fell in love with a colleague and friend who was very mean-spirited and wild. Nothing had prepared her for the intensity of sorrow she felt. It was only with the intervention of God's love that she began to record her life story trying to capture the paradox of love and grief. These were scars. But what can she make of them? As Nylah exposes her deepest feelings and fears and the truth about her life and shattering disappointments, she appreciates the Scars as beauty within that ultimately bloomed into profound wisdom and love.

When I moved into my house everything was great except, the previous owner had red and gray stepping stones and red lava rock everywhere. I decided that the stepping stones needed more color so I went on Amazon and order 100 Mexican tiles. I had so much fun with the stepping stones, I wanted to do more. Seven months later, 450 Mexican tiles, countless tubes of Liquid Nails and tons of glass accent pieces, I finished my little project which I photographed for this book. I hope you find this helpful and have as much fun as I had transforming my yard.

Each year I put together many bake sales to raise funds for the local homeless shelter and other local charities. This is a great way to get involved in the communities.
