Diane is an award winning author, speaker and singer. All age groups connect with Diane who knows what it is to be broken, homeless and hopeless. She was an elite athlete and coach but in her twenties, Diane was diagnosed with a painful, debilitating and incurable blood disease called cryoglobulinemia vasculitis. She was devastated and lost all that was important to her. Thinking she was better off dead than disabled she contemplated suicide. However, in the midst of her despair, Diane received the transforming love of Jesus. T hrough this experience she learned the secret to happiness and that God still has a purpose and plan for her life even if her body is broken.

The disease turned into a gift that allows her to captivate the corporate executive, the athlete, the coach, the prisoner... She is Satan's worst nightmare because she will not give up! She challenges us all to realize with God nothing is impossible and it's never too late to be all he created you to be. She's experienced terrible tragedy yet she prevails with her husband, God's love and her adorable rescued Italian Greyhound Service Dog, Gracie. Diane 's dedicated her remaining days to being a light in the darkness giving God all the glory. America’s best kept secret is sharing hope and encouragement everywhere she goes and will dare you to do the same.

Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>
