This dream started out just as simple as that - simply a dream. It amazes me how you can believe in something so strongly that you begin to convince yourself it IS and WILL BE your reality, regardless of where you are in that moment of your life. I can remember nights when I would lay in my bed and cry myself to sleep because I could taste, I could feel, and I could so severely touch my dream - but had NO IDEA how I was going to make it happen. Those moments in life- little did I know then- were much needed moments for my dream to manifest. Those frustrating nights, those long prayers, those hours at service begging God to just show me ‘what to do’ were building me up with such strength so that when my dream did stare me in the face- I would snatch it up with a grip so tight- you’d think I was in an arm wrestling match with God! Lol..(now you know you GOT to be strong and have a tight grip to be in a match with Him, can you imagine how big his hand would be???lol..(ok, sorry, lol!! ) BUT I WON!! And I’m not letting go of my DREAM. I know this is just the beginning for me and my group, but a simple dream is all it took for us to even have a beginning and for that I’m grateful. I don’t know what chapter 2 will read now that we’re here, or even what these next few months will consist of as the world begins to know (and hopefully love  ) Richgirl. But I do know- my sisters Audra, Lynn, and 7 have a grip just as tight as I do- and we’re not letting go.
