This book is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Shirley L. Dean. She always knew that I would eventually hatch, leap, and soar, well before I ever believed I could.
“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”
—C. S. Lewis

About the Author
“It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meeting LaToyia for the first time, it is impossible not to be inspired by her indomitable spirit. She has made a total commitment to be about service. When you hear her story, you find it hard to believe this beautiful, articulate, and educated wife and mother lived and persevered, even flourished, through these circumstances.
First, she understood that we cannot change our yesterdays, but we can definitely change our tomorrows. Second, our circumstances are not a life sentence.
Her desire to empower and uplift women, especially mothers, to understand the magnitude of their responsibilities to their children and all children has led her to take a pen in hand. LaToyia now writes. She writes to encourage, she writes to empower and to uplift. She calls us all to turn on the light inside of us. May we follow her lead and Hatch, Leap, and Soar to amazing heights.

At the beginning of each year, I select one word to focus on. Hatch, leap, and soar were my words from 2014 to 2016. When I chose the word hatch in 2014, I had no idea how it would start a complete life overhaul and personal transformation for me.
The focus on transformation is at the heart of this book, Hatch, Leap, Soar. It is the concept of becoming who you were created to be. The idea of reaching total fulfillment, real success, and true happiness is subjective. You have to determine what those ideals mean to you. What is sure to happen, in order for you to find your own personal nirvana, are hatching, leaping,
