Introduction
As I enter the doctor’s office, I am overwhelmed. Immediately I am handed paperwork with a list of physical and mental diseases. I am advised to review these forms and note if I or a family member has ever been diagnosed with any of the listed diseases. When I was in my youth, I would just check no to the questions without giving it a second thought. But as I approach adult hood, and have personally witnessed the demise of family members due to these listed diseases, I found myself studying the list. Not only was I studying the list of diseases, but fear began to set in when I realize that according to my doctor, I was pre-exposed to these diseases. I mean really how many times have a medical professional diagnosed someone with an ailment, only to say that it’s hereditary. So what my ears hear and has warned my consciousness is that no matter what I do, I’m stuck with some disease because of my family’s D.N.A. What a real crush and blow to my future. As unbelievable as it all seems, I realize that it was definitely authentic.
This process goes against everything that I was taught and believe. I just believed that despite what my family’s curse was, it did not have to be my future. No matter what disease, sickness, or cycle my family embraced or displayed, I did not have to accept it as my own.
After watching family members suffer from hypertension, cancer, diabetes, depression, anxiety, asthma, heart conditions, schizophrenia, and mood swings, I decided that the buck stops here. It’s time to embrace a new and brighter future. It is time to “Break the Family Ties”. That’s right! I will not embrace pre-mature death. I will not follow patterns of self-destruction by speaking failure into my life. I will dare to think out of the box. I will attempt to do something unlike the pattern set before me. I will think and speak life, health, strength, and prosperity over my mind, body, soul, and spirit. Not only that but I will train and teach my children to also press beyond the pattern and dare to be different. The place is here; the time is now to “Break the Family Ties”.

Dedication
This book is dedicated to my dearly departed sister Yolanda Cook. Yolanda struggle her entire life with health issues but yet was one of the strongest people I have ever known.

I will always love and adore my sister “Makidada”.
A special thanks to my husband Ricky and children, Jeremy, Brandon, and Jessica. Thank you for allowing me to put myself in my work and encourage me all the way. You guys are my motivation to share this message of love, hope, and power.

I would absorb every word from your mouth, completely mesmerize. You are such an inspiration to all and role model to many. Please know that your life is meaningful and rich. My life is better because of your teaching and guidance.
Chapter 1:Pre-Exposed
There is nothing more beautiful than a glowing pregnant woman. People are often drawn to a pregnant woman excited about the amazing journey of creation. Questions are often thrown at her like: When is your baby do? How do you feel? Are you excited? You never hear questions like: What diseases is your baby pre-exposed to? Are you afraid that your baby may inherit your Mom’s mood swings or your father’s anger? No, you never hear these questions proposed to a new mother. And that’s because it is not polite to dig into someone else’s family history and taint a celebratory moment. But truth be told, it’s definitely something that should be discussed and researched. A parent should be aware of the genetics and behavior of the family tree.
Parents play music and sing to their unborn child, hoping to bring comfort and culture to their child. Some parents even expose their unborn child to foreign languages, math, and other educational resources to begin the process of stimulating their intelligence. Even the setting for the birth of the child is considerate. Parents choose natural settings over sterile hospitals, hoping to create a peaceful entry for the baby. Parents choose water births to ease a child into the new environment. But what about the parents who do the total opposite of what we just described. The parents who were not prepared for the child and is not excited. Maybe they are in a bad relationship, and the pending child is a reminder of their current dilemma. The parent who constantly tell everybody that they don’t want a baby, and that they had no plans of parenthood. The self-destructive parent that smokes, drinks and party excessively while carrying the baby. If we believe that all of the positive activities and habits parents perform while carrying a baby will benefit the baby, then we must also believe that all of the negative activities and habits parents perform will also affect the baby in the womb.
The connection between an unborn baby and mother is simply amazing. There is not enough research in the world to clearly describe the experience. A pregnant woman can eat certain foods, and the unborn baby will respond either positively or negatively. A pregnant woman can crave foods that under any normal circumstances she would never have eaten. For example, I am allergic to certain fruits including watermelon, but while I was pregnant, I was able to eat all fruit including watermelon without any reaction. I carried oranges and plums in my bag everywhere I went because the craving for fruit was very strong. People applauded my healthy choices, but I often just chuckled because it was not my choices, I would’ve chosen a burger for myself. The needs of my unborn baby superseded my selfish desires.
An unborn child also responds to the emotional state of the mother. If a mother is stressed and emotional, this will also cause the unborn baby to feel stressed putting the unborn baby at risk. So it is safe to say that even in the womb, we are sponges and are being prepared for our journey out of the womb. I know of several mothers who while carrying their baby were stressed, sad, cried a lot and completely miserable for different reasons. When they gave birth, their baby had physical issues varying from heart conditions, delayed growth, underdeveloped organs etc. I’m not saying that all depress or emotionally stressed pregnant women will experience similar conditions with their unborn children, but I am saying that there is an existing risk due to the connection of mom and unborn child.
