| Introduction | I’m Alison (most family and friends call me Ali): full-time editor, sometime writer, professional organizing enthusiast, lover of interior decorating, and social media junkie. I was born across the pond in London, England, many moons ago but grew up in the Caribbean––St. Kitts and Nevis to be exact. I’ve studied in the Virgin Islands and Canada and have been living in the metro Washington, DC area for almost 20 years. I love good food, good friends, my crazy family, and, quite often, being by myself. I can’t seem to find enough time to read and listen to music! I swear I get high, in a good way, on those two activities. I call my Kindle my Crandle because I do believe they put crack in it. No, really! Same for my iPod. I know I’m called to minister to women, but not in a run-of-the-mill way. God’s been carving out unique ways for me to do that thing that He wired me to do. I just show up and let it do what it do! |

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
Keep the people who have always meant the most to me, close to me. And never let God go for a second!
