Ora Inga Ray (1893-1900) missed the opportunity to live a full life when she died just before her seventh birthday after being poisoned by her father. Ora Inga Ray was killed October 1, 1900 just shy of her 8th birthday.Ora was the second child of four children born into a biracial family living in Duluth, Minnesota. William Henry Ray, born in North Carolina in 1858 and Inga Nordquist Ray, born in Sweden in 1870 were her parents.October 1900 has been recorded as the wettest month of the year in weather history. I would like to think that Ora dying on the 1st of the month resulted in the state of Minnesota forever weeping her avoidable loss.Ora is resurrected, one hundred and twenty- one years later by all those who read her story.

People often ask, "Why Seniors?" My response is always the same, "Why NOT Seniors?" I have always had an unwavering desire to serve and protect the elderly. Even as a child, when given the opportunity to choose, my choice was always to be in the company of the "older folk". I have found their wisdom and conversation to be priceless. For Seniors, living independently during their golden years can be an enjoyable and rewarding time of life. Most desire to maintain their dignity, quality of life, and independence while living at home. Sounds simple enough. However, what I have found to be true, both professionally and personally, is that things aren't always so simple. As a very young adult, I can recall experiencing the loss of my maternal great-grandmother. Having not been afforded the knowledge that I currently possess, watching her cognitive decline over a 5-year span was painful. On the day of her funeral, I can still recall feeling as though I'd lost my grandmother several years prior. A better understanding of her diagnosis would have added more quality to the time we shared. Experiencing the loss of my paternal grandmother was another taxing experience. Though her diagnosis did not rob her of her cognitive ability, Cancer certainly took everything else. During this experience, my knowledge base for the situation was greater. Therefore, medical attention, placement, and long-term planning were much easier. Most recently, the loss of my maternal grandfather was a challenge that tugged on every ounce of knowledge, experience, and emotion possible. Within a 7-month period, I watched my grandfather drift from what most called, "The World's Oldest Teenager" to being completely bedridden and dependent on others for care. Heart attack, stroke, cancer, kidney failure, dialysis, feeding tube, tracheostomy, cardiac arrest, and resuscitation were only among the most significant challenges that he endured. Fortunately, my family and I were able to make "informed" decisions to assure that he maintained quality of life. Working in Senior care for over 20 years, I have been exposed to all aspects. I have consoled weeping widows. I have found placement for seniors who have no family. I have advocated for seniors who were mistreated by family and/or professionals. I have found assistance for seniors that wanted to remain at home but needed a little help. I have helped family to understand that Hospice is actually very beneficial and not death sentence. I have hired good caregivers. I have terminated poor caregivers. I have also provided Psychotherapy for seniors who suffer from depression and anxiety. In short, Seniors and their families experience the same issues as those in other populations. For me, it is a God-given charge that I do all that is within my power to assure that this population is provided with the supports needed to be safe, healthy, and happy.

Butterfly In a Jar is about how I lost myself within the cracks of life and how taking control back over my life through life altering transformation allowed me to fly. We can all relate and reflect at some point in our lives feeling stagnated and losing ourselves in the process. You start to have those agitating feelings of not being in control of your life, so you look for ways to pass the time, cover the hurt and hide the scars. Your emotions grab you and take you on a roller coaster ride of anxiety, fear, isolation, and rejection. You feel alone, then depression set in and your mind starts to play tricks on you to the point of no return. When enough is enough and you feel as though you're about to lose all consciousness.... you take a deep sigh and make up your mind that it's time to radically transform your mind, body and soul and fly.

Many teens get pregnant without proper support and end up dropping out of high school. 
Kids who get pregnant often think they don’t deserve to be successful. They start blaming others for their mistakes and feel as if they have no control over their lives. 
In this God-given anthology, 12 women open up about their experience as a teen mom and share their journey as an inspiration to other teen moms that, they too, can be successful no matter what happens to them in life. It shows them that they have the power to turn things around for themselves. 
In these women’s pasts, people have said disrespectful and inconsiderate statements, such as “now, you’re stuck”, “your momma was pregnant as a teen and you will be too”, “you’ll be on welfare for the rest of your life”. 
But... 
They were determined, prayed, showed resilience and were bold. While pressing forward, they encountered being homelessness, were used & abused, rejected and even confused. The words and actions of others didn’t stop them, but taught them how to stay focused and pivot, when necessary. My prayer is that the words will leap off these pages and make a great impact in another young teen’s life.
