ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
Vanessa Davis Griggs
is an author and motivational speaker who adores the power of words
both written and spoken. At the end of 1996, this former BellSouth
employee left 18 years of service stepping out on faith and decided to
pursue her purpose and passion--writing. Proving out Proverbs 18:16, A
man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men, she
began her own company (Free To Soar) emphasizing the taking off of
limits as she travels around the country inspiring others--young and
old--to take flight and do the same.
