In 1995, Ms. Reid learned she had cancer. Dissatisfied with her doctor's answers, she chose not to receive chemotherapy, a decision her doctor warned would cost her her life. Instead, Ms. Reid decided to take responsibility for her own healing, with God's help.

While educating herself about healthy living and constantly strengthening her faith in the Lord, Ms. Reid reached a state of wholeness that she enjoys to this day. In her book, "Cancer: A Sentence to Live," she shares her personal journey, complete with the information she discovered through research, detailed lists of dietary supplements, and even some of her morning devotionals.

She chose her career path because she is a 20-year cancer survivor.

The biggest challenge Ms. Reid overcame was not allowing depression to take her down. She learned to accept what she cannot change.

Her greatest strength is her ability to recognize a problem and solve it, as well as her trust in the Lord.

Ms. Reid's greatest accomplishments were recovering from lung cancer and ridding herself of the anger and malice in her heart.

Looking forward, she hopes to help others recover through her book, as well as by following a natural and spiritual route to wellness. Her second book, "A Time In The Word," is being published by West Bow Press. It will released by the end of June 2016. It can be purchased through Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, and Life Way. Her first book is available now on Amazon.com.

Ms. Reid is inspired by her loving family, church, and missions in the West Indies.

She wants to be remembered for loving the Lord, her husband and her family, as well as for inspiring others to wellness.
