Anita M. McLaurin is an author, speaker, and coach who helps women and youth live their intended design. In her award-winning book, My Father Said I Could, she teaches that everyone has a gift to give the world and that all people should passionately pursue their purpose. “I am not what happened to me; I am what I CHOOSE to become.” And that’s when things started to change for me. I had a choice to operate from the good or the bad. I chose the good. After some time, I fondly remembered the good things–our home, porch conversations, and our parents' lessons. Most importantly for me, I remembered that my father always told me, “I could.” So, even though my brothers and I became part of that sad statistic, all was not lost. What preceded was an uplifting book. So many children wander today because they’re missing their fathers. I wanted them to know that a Heavenly Father cared for them whether they had a father in the home or not.
