      This is an excerpt from Divaisms by me and Christine Chapman. I am including it because I have to tell you more.

      You know how sometimes a chance meeting with someone changes your life? You cross paths with a woman you admire and make her your mentor, often times without her even knowing it. I was fortunate enough to meet such a woman when I was nine months old. She not only became my mentor, she became my mother. I thank God every day for bringing my parents to me.
