which gave her 2 beautiful grandchildren. Although, Virginia regretfully has not always been a part of her
family’s lives. She has since been reunited by working toward building a relationship with each one of them
once again. Presently, she enjoys living close to the Bay area of San Francisco.
Granted, Virginia wishes her biography could be colorfully a perfect painted picture but, this has not always
been the case in her situation. From the moment she came into this world she fought with every ounce of
energy to survive. For 43 years of her life she encountered many intolerable circumstances which daily
hindered her to becoming a successful woman in society. Some of these hindrances were years of emotional
trauma, extreme poverty, homelessness, and incarceration.
Virginia, realizing after 17 years of being homeless in Richmond, California, with prison being her
second home; the blame game of who, what, and where must cease. With much contemplation, she made up
her mind by saying, “Enough is enough, if I wait for someone else to save me then I will surely be waiting a
very long time yet, that day may never arrive”.
In 2003, while being incarcerated, Virginia begun to search her soul for new direction for her life. In the midst
of quiet isolation, she began meditating while lying upon her bunk. Then to her amazement, she heard a small
faint voice telling her to, “Write what I tell you because you are going to reach the world”. Then she began to
chuckle within because she didn’t know the first thing about writing, much less writing a book, and reaching
the world. Questioning her own mental abilities she said to her-self, “How am I going to reach the world when
I can’t even leave this cell, or move from the ten block radius in Richmond, California For years, she never told
anyone about her experience because she didn’t want anyone to think she was crazily going out of her mind.
However, it was in these in moments of isolation and solitude confinement “Secrets of the Inner Heart” and
“Incarcerated Desires” were penned. What Virginia thought to be a curse in her past was a stepping stone to
her future.vizualizați mai puține
