talking to my husband’s mistress. She agreed to end the relationship

and tried to tell me how much Leroy loved me … yea, yea.

I told Leroy that evening I had spoken to Ms. Moore and I wanted

them to end their relationship. I told him that, since I was going to

Vail and he was going to Florida, we should both go away thinking of
where we wanted this marriage to go. I told him I hoped that when
we returned, we could just start over. I told him that he had to stop

drinking and talking with Ms. Moore.

I left for Vail and met with my cousin and her college roommate.
We had reserved a suite and enjoyed all the pleasures of the rich and

famous. I felt so foolish when I told my cousin I had spoken with Ms.
Moore, and I believed Ms. Moore when she said she was not having

an affair with Leroy. My cousin looked at me like I was crazy. She then
asked if I was the other woman would I admit to having an affair with

someone else's husband. She said she would deny it to the death. It hit
home -- I was being naïve again. I became depressed all over again.

The Sistah Summit was a very spiritual conference and it was the
beginning of my spiritual journey. The very first workshop I attended

was titled “Through the Storm, Now I Shine.” This workshop was led

by a minister and professor from Howard University. She began
sharing her journey about her mother and her birth. How her birth
was from someone who was a polygamist and how both she and her

mother suffered from depression.
