I am Linda Beauty Marks, a faith-filled Woman of God who has gone through many painful life changes.

I’ve always believed that there is a purpose for my pain. I tend to look at the glass as full, whether of air or water.

I take life’s poop and grow a vibrant garden filled with wisdom and compassion with that fertilizer.

Life can be hard, and it’s important we spot and appreciate the sunshine and the rainbows every chance we get.

Turn every experience into a lesson from which wisdom, strength, compassion, and empathy can grow, and become a little better instead of bitter, and more grateful instead of resentful.

Breathe through the pain and find relief. Share love. Share kindness. Share hope with your fellow human beings.

Because deep down inside, we are all basically the same. We all need love, understanding, and the opportunity to become the best version of ourselves.

This is my mission: to bring out the best in the absolute worst circumstances and to keep my humanity intact through my writing.
