My name is Irene Blanche Porter

This is my second submission to American Profile. Approximately two years ago the subject was "How I received My Gifts"I also stated I was in the process of writing a book.I was really struggling at that time ,because I couldn't type and was computer illiterate. I still can't type very fast and don't know a lot about the computer.I also struggle with a lot of eye trouble, and have had a lot of surgeries and treatments because of diabetes.Through God  and my  determination,I was able to complete the book and have it printed. I am a self publisher my company is called "Fresta Publishing. The book is called "My life and Gifts" I stated in my last article I am a Gospel/Christain singer,songwriter,Recording Artist,Poet and now an author. I had no training or prior knowledge of any of the above until after I received injuries to many parts of my body including a concussion at the age of forty seven. The book is about my life beginning as the daughter of Share Croppers back in Louisiana until present. It tells about my sruggles with being molested many times, and lots of advice to unwed mothers, because I was one.It tells how my faith in God pulled me through all these different situations.It also include the song lyrics of the cds."Thanks for the Loan and "Have Mercy on the Children".poetry, and a short play, The book and cds can be purchased from Amazon.con. I am seventy two years and just want to incourage others old and young don't give up on your dreams. it is never too late to do God's will.He can use anyone he chooses to do his will. Keep Holding on.
