Willie Ruffin grew-up in a small town in North Carolina with a population of 2,000 people. His life experiences there were challenging to say the least. Born in a family of 15 children and he was the 7th born. He was not privileged like some children growing-up there. He lived and worked on farms as a means of survival. His parents made an agreement with a farmer that the children will help on the farm during planting and harvest time. This afforded them the ability to have a place to live. Even though the father worked as factory worker, he was not getting paid enough to manage the family's finances. There was a period of time that the family struggled and received government assistance or the family would not have survived. The factory closed down and moved out of town to another state. This took a toll on the family and some of the children dropped out of school. I finished high school, and graduated from college with an Associate in Marketing Management and Sales. Other accomplishments include a certificate in Radio Broadcasting, a certificate in Theological Studies and I also worked as a parent representative at the Board of Education for Special Education Students.

Book Details
Are You Ready For Change?
The topics in this book are by inspiration, meditation, observation and experiences in my life that help shape my reality. Inside of us are abilities that we don't see. Many of us never discover the gift that is our destiny. We have a void that can only be filled when we connect with the inner call of our purpose. We dream that someday we become something special for the good of humanity and make a difference on earth, that will truly be seen as a contribution to bring forth my portion that was assigned to me as part of the "master plan". Transforming into what I have become over time is humbling to me. How gracious I am, growing and developing by the things that challenged me. It brought about the changes that help me to see that which was inside me. We don't see a "metamorphosis process", but it takes place as we grow to become what we finally see that was hidden was shaping our true identity.
