I love to read first and foremost. I've always been a day dreamer as well. Some of my favorite authors admit to being the same. I figured if they could write and write well, then why can't I? Sometimes I find myself procrastinating but my mind is always busy creating new titles and new stories. Once I finally sit down to put it all on paper, everything just come together.

Exhale to Excel was started in April 2005 by Nichelle A. Ruffin (Mother/Army Captain/Aspiring Author/Minister/Graduate Student), Lolitha Y. Terry (Mother/Admin. Consultant/college Student), Kimberly Parker Mother/Youth Minister/law firm consultant) and Jacqueline Cunningham (Mother/Church Choir Director/Senior Bank Collector). The three, came together after Nichelle received the vision from God to start the Global Outreach movement. The services provided are listed but are not limited to the listing. Amongst the three, there is a plethora of information. The objective of "Exhale to Excel" is to lovingly reach out to the world by providing spiritual mentor ship, spiritual leadership, practical knowledge, financial and spiritual counseling. In the process of providing these things, we will ensure our own personal growth is enhanced by attending self help seminars concerning our finances, educational needs, spirituality ... The world is forever changing. Therefore it is our goal to stay abreast of this fact and ensure that others do so as well. The world is in need of women of great character, professionalism, charisma, and personal fortitude to go that extra mile. The world yearns for women (people) like us to stand as strong examples for our children and other people. It is imperative that we share ourselves with those less fortunate, for we have been those same people, as well as live our lives on "purpose". The time has come for us to live a purpose driven life. It is time that the world knows that life is made to be lived to the fullest. "And the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry." Habakkuk 2:2-3
