To Vanessa Davis Griggs and Victoria Christopher Murray

You both are writing angels. I thank you both for helping
me in my writing career. It is only for your help and love
that I have had some closed doors opened to me.
Many days I didnt know how Id make it as a writer, but
you were there to help me find my way. You told me to
shake off the negative thoughts and shake on a positive
mentality. May every reader dare to find themselves and
reach their full potential.

Keep working your pen I love you!

To Tina Crittenden and Angela King

We would have never gotten to experience football from the unique perspective we now see it had it not been for
you two. Thank you for giving us one of the best gifts of
our lives, as you believed in us from the start. You both
are strong ladies making the world a better place with
how you give and help others daily. We hope you are proud of this story.

You are women we are proud to call family thanks and love!

You are young, so it is natural to wonder who you are. Where are you going? What do you want in life? Who are your real friends? Will you ever have someone to love you? And many, many other questions, but if no questions are asked, there will be no answers.

However, too many questions can overwhelm you. Feeling like you know nothing can be depressing. Take life one day at a time. Set goals and work toward them. If you dont like something about yourself, dont wallow. Change it for the better. Sometimes seeking answers can lead you down paths you dont want to tread. Point: though you might not fully know who you are, you are someone special. So handle yourself with care. Shake it, dont break it!

Here is a considerable thank you to everyone who helps move my writing to the next level.

For my parents, Dr. Franklin and Shirley Perry Sr., thank you for allowing me to shake it while young. Your guidance helped me dream big.

For my publisher, especially the office staff at Saddleback, thank you for letting me shake it with you by being a part of your mission. Your belief helps me live a purpose-filled life.

For my extended family: brother, Dennis Perry, mother-in-law, Ann Redding, brother-in-Christ, Jay Spencer, godmother, Marjorie Kimbrough, and goddaughter, Danielle Lynn, thank you for helping me shake it daily as you help me keep my head up high. Your support makes me feel good.

For my assistants: Joy Spencer, Keisha King, and Shaneen Clay, thank you for assisting me in shaking out my thoughts. Your diligence helps me keep the novel real and right for readers.

For my friends whom I love to pieces: Leslie Perry, Lakeba Williams, Nicole Smith, Torian Colon, Loni Perriman, Kim Forest, Vickie Davis, Kim Monroe, Jamell Meeks, Michele Jenkins, Lois Barney, Perlicia Floyd, Veronica Evans, Laurie Weaver, Taiwanna Brown-Bolds, Matosha Glover, Yolanda Rodgers-Howsie, Dayna Fleming, Denise Gilmore, and Deborah Bradley, thank you for getting me to shake it and truly live life. Your friendship helps me be the best I can be.

For my teens: Dustyn, Sydni, and Sheldyn, thank you for being the inspiration that makes me shake it twenty-four-seven. Your existence helps me long to protect and provide for you.

For my husband, Derrick, thank you for shaking it with me. Your partnership helps me feel complete.

For my new readers, thank you for finding this novel and shaking off anything that holds you back from reading it. Your future helps me stay inspired to write on.

And my Lord, thank you for blessing me with a writing talent to shake. Your Grace for me helps me not look back to what I used to be, but press on to what youll have me to be.

Sometimes things happen in life that you arent proud of. When things dont turn out like you plan, you may sulk, cry, or sometimes want to die. Its even tougher when youre a male on a team, and you feel like you let everyone down. Youre supposed to hold it together and not be vulnerable. However, who said feeling something was wrong?
