“I once asked God for the world. It was placed upon my shoulders. I suppose that means it is mine.” - Joylynn M. Jossel
Dedicated to my world which consist solely of
The Creator (who is, in fact, the true author and I being merely the co-author chosen to take credit for his work…Thank you, Jehovah, for using me), My Man (who is responsible for at least 38% of my diary LOL), my two beautiful children (who’s breath I breathe), my entire family (Dad and Uncle-thanks for putting it down for me in the ATL; Wan and Yan…. thanks for rollin’ on the book signing tours…I owe y’all a platinum tooth) and a handful of genuine supportive friends (Ang- for when asked who your favorite author is, without hesitation…, Kevin-The Don of the entourage when we rollin through the “Big D” and Steph-thank you for being nosey and stumbling into my pool of thoughts and then bugging me into compiling them for you, which ultimately lead to this piece…your genuine love of my work is priceless)
Special thanks to Nancy, Marlon, Trini and other members of my cyber family (The Black
Writers Alliance)
Earth, for jumping into those rentals and planes when the touring became more work than fun
