About the author
Debra Sanders Clark was born in Sumter County, Alabama, in 1971, the second daughter of Johnny and Arminta Sanders. During her childhood, she resided with her parents and two sisters (Johnnie Mae and Lakesha) in rural Emelle, Alabama. Clarks favorite part of growing up was spending time with her grandmother (the late Flozell Thomas), who told fairy tales with funny endings, and her grandfather (the late Arthur Thomas), who taught her the value of working at an early age. Clark attended grammar school at Livingston Junior High School (Livingston, Alabama) and graduated from Livingston High School in 1989. She is a 1993 undergraduate and 1994 graduate from Livingston University (University of West Alabama) and holds degrees in social science and guidance and counseling. Debra is married to Tyrone Clark Sr. Together they have six children (Tavis, Tyrenae, Brandon, Marnetta, Tyrone Jr., and Shameka). Through her childhood upbringing, she developed a strong faith in God and a compassion to help others. The first eight years of her work career were spent working at West Alabama Health Services (Eutaw, Alabama) where she was introduced to the health-care world. Consequently, this was a valuable and rewarding learning opportunity for Clark. Moreover, the experience increased her desire to reach out and help others. In 2001 Debra Sanders Clark founded Health and Wellness Education Center, a community-based organization with a mission to Help the Needy. Clark never dreamed of becoming a writer, although she has written and produced an array of educational publications, handouts, brochures, pamphlets, newspaper articles, and course materials and has coauthored publications related to obesity and diabetes with local universities. Now, inspirational writing, which she employs for self-healing, has become her extreme passion. She attests that personal experiences have taught her to savor each moment of living by focusing on the positive aspects of life. Clark now writes to inspire, inform, and empower others to make positive changes in behaviors, attitudes, and habitual thinking by focusing on God rather than problems. Utilizing the glass-half-full philosophy, Clark has recognized opportunities within her own struggles, and she influences others not to give up when experiencing difficult situations. Clark elaborates: Our adoring Father has invested in each of us unique talents, gifts, and abilities. When identified and utilized, these natural attributes allow us to grow and develop throughout our lives. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of Gods grace in its various forms (1 Peter 4:10 KJV).
