Self In-Power-Ment
Enough Is Enough: An Addict’s Guide to Self In-Power-Ment is a compelling memoir detailing your journey of healing from addiction. Why was this an important book for you to write?
Enough Is Enough was an important book for me to write because one, God has called me to help people remember their connection with Him along with the powers within themselves to overcome any situation including addiction. And today, there’s more to be addicted to and the side effects of it even greater.
The second reason why Enough Is Enough was important for me to write because I am The Connecting Angel and one of the gifts God has given me is to be able to connect anything and everything. With that being said, I knew, that my journey, my lessons and teachings will help any addict. Including people who aren’t addicts, and those who don’t think they’re an addict or have an addiction.
The last reason why Enough is Enough was important for me to write because battling addiction has been part of my life for a long time. My goal is to help addicts and people not give so much time, energy, money and ultimately space in their lives on addiction, like I did.
I appreciated the candid nature with which you told your story. What was the hardest thing for you to write about?
There wasn’t anything hard about writing my story. However there were two emotionally high moments that brought cleansing and healing tears as I answered this.
The first moment was when I broke my vow and used my gift of writing for the addiction I had in my twenties and I experienced an internal death because of it.
The second most emotional moment in my book was sharing how addiction affected my parenting and my babies.
In your memoir you say, “Any words you say after ‘I’ correlate to you and your life with the consequence of manifesting and becoming real in your life.” This statement stood out and really gives readers something to think about. What is something you want readers to understand about the importance of positive affirmations?
Great question. I love sharing and teaching about this in my program.
I want my readers to know that it’s not about positive or negative, or even good or bad. It’s about receiving your desired outcome vs receiving their non-desired result.
It’s a simple as changing your wording from I can’t to I can. I won’t to I will.
Example: “I keep forgetting,” to “I am remembering.”
My readers will learn that what they speak after “I” will change their perspective of how their mind is set on something or someone as well, which in turn will change their feelings and their actions as well. Because “A changed mindset will produce a change in behavior.” – Angelica Stevenson
What is one thing you hope readers take away from your story?
The one truth that I request my readers to keep with them after reading my story is their powerful connection and relationship they have with God, the creator of all. And as a creation of The Creator, my readers will remember their supernatural powers, connections and freedom to overcome and be victorious over any addiction that might move them away from God’s purpose for their life and their path.

The book is filled with wisdom worth bookmarking and revisiting regularly. The narrative is both enlightening and captivating, enriched with educational insights about addiction.

God Gave Me This Story
Judgement Day follows a woman who is at the heart of the eternal struggle between good and evil, with the supernatural power to change the course of humanity. What inspired your Epic Poem?
I was inspired by God to write this Epic Poem, the majority of this story was written in a trance state so it is a literal trance-script.
Years later, I had the desire to finish the story but was unsure and doubted my capabilities, because one, I didn’t want to let God down.
Then two, I didn’t believe at the time that I had it in me to finish it with the same initial power, divine guidance and creativity that began the story.
In the end I chose to take a leap of faith and use self motivation to complete the story by trusting my natural gift.
I knew God gave me this story for a reason and that its purpose will be fulfilled no matter what.
A lot of time was spent crafting the character traits in this novel. What was the most important factor for you to get right in your characters?
There were three vital factor for me to get right in my characters:
The first factor was capturing the essence of good and evil.
The second factor was providing opportunities for each character to either do good or do evil.
Which leads to the third factor which was making the distinction that being good or being evil wasn’t based on the characters, who they are.
But the choices the characters made and the consequences of their choices afterwards.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this Epic Poem?
The first theme that was vital to include was the Power To Judge as in the power to decide what to do with your life and what you allow into your life.
We all wield the Power To Judge to choose, and shape our life experiences as we grow and learn how to use it correctly everyday.
Hence the true meaning of “Judgement Day,” based on the etymology of judgment and the characters using their Power To Judge daily in their lives.
The secondary theme was the understanding or perspective that light doesn’t necessarily mean good, and darkness doesn’t necessarily mean evil.
For example, the night sky is dark, but that doesn’t mean it’s evil.
The third theme that was important is that anyone can be saved, can change and has the choice to make good decisions or bad decisions to get the consequences, aka results, that they want in life and from life too.
And the last theme that is important is purpose, knowing you are here on this earth, alive, for a reason. To remember it as you go through life and have various encounters and experiences.
I find a problem with well-written stories: I always want there to be another book to keep the story going. Is there a second book planned?
Angel’s story opens the door for her grandchildren to fight the good fight in a new way, with new powers, new allies and new enemies.
So yes there will be a second book that continues the journey and battle through Selene and her children.
