| Motivations and Inspirations Used to Escape from 21st Century Slavery! |
| "Connecting All of The Dots of Life" "Love is the most important thing we have been given from GOD at conception. Satan tries to deceive, lie, trick and steal this before, during, and after we are formed in the womb. Love is the solution. Love never fails." Joan E. Gosier "My Family's Love" "My husband Thomas Lezett Gosier first gave me awareness of the depth of this love. My daughter Tomeara Jeanelle Gosier secondly gave me appreciation of the depth of this love. My daughter Toleah Estelle Gosier thirdly gave me acknowledgement of the depth of this love. I AM FREE!" Joan E. Gosier |
My dad was an excellent scrapbook creator and my mom was a "top notch pack rat" for keeping
old report cards, test scores, "love notes", artwork and other keepsakes from elementary school
for me. It is such a blessing for me to be able to share these things with my two daughters. My
mom used to share with me glimpses of her life through vivid stories that helped me learn so
much that I often felt older in wisdom than my actual age. I always recall having a caring, loving
and protective village around me. Living within the confines of love enables U to give back love.
So I am working hard to do the same for my GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDCHILDREN-LOL.
I am writing this book of personal memories to capture all of my LIFE LEARNED LESSONS to
pass down and prayerfully take a tradition to the NEXT LEVEL where each generation will pass
the baton to the next with better and better lessons learned. Not too much theory. Real LIFE.
I cordially invite U to check out
"Cotton Pickin' Paycheck-A 21st Century Journal of Escape from Slavery".
I pray that it INSPIRES AND MOTIVATES SOMEONE to leave something for their legacy too!
