Transformation Through Chaos Transformation Through Chaos_Sneak Peak | Page 3

INTRODUCTION The main purpose of writing this book is to help those individuals who live in chaos and have no understanding of how to transform during that time. It is important to realize that chaos is inevitable and unavoidable, and no matter how hard you try to escape, it will find you. Yet, in spite of chaos, an individual can excel and prevail. Transformation Through Chaos begins with self-discovery and understanding and accepting your genuine self regardless of your personal challenges. I am challenging you to awaken to the person that you really are. You have had several life experiences, both good and bad. Before I discuss the many faces we all wear, let me describe who I am. My life began in Fitzgerald, Georgia on September 9, 1964. I was the second child born to Alberta and Ira Wenze. My parent’s first daughter passed away before I was born. After my birth, my parents had four other children, which included three boys and another girl. My younger sister was the product of a stillborn birth. I am the only daughter of my parents who survived. I was the oldest and only girl of four living children that my parents had. My brothers and I grew up in a middle class home environment. My father was a medical doctor and my mother was a housewife. I was fortunate to grow up at a time period in which I resided in a two-parent household. In addition, both of my parents were college educated. My father was raised in a two-parent household until his father passed away. His father was employed by a railroad company and his mother was an entrepreneur. My grandmother promoted edu- cation among her children. All of my father’s siblings attended col- lege with the exception of one brother who elected to serve in the military. D vi E
