INTRODUCTION
 “Mind Interrupted”
-Experiencing Technical Difficulties…

Have you ever experienced your mind shifting and not being in control
of your own thoughts? Have you ever been in a season with so much movement, turmoil and chaos in it? I know you have; many of us have experienced those feelings. This book “Mind Interrupted”-Experiencing Technical Difficulties will become your personal manual and will instruct you to move, apply and pay attention to your own life. God will lead, direct and protect you however; YOUR foot steps must be ordered at all times. Tawana Williams’ life was ordered by God from birth on May 23, 1963 as she was blessed to be born without arms. Throughout the years she had so many obstacles in her way and beat the odds over and over again. As a nationally known Motivational Speaker, Author, TV Personality, Award winner, Vocalist, Artist, Les Brown Platinum Speaker, Mentor and CEO however; nothing could’ve prepared Tawana for her next experience. For many years, she was the master motivator, the captain of her own ship (her mind) and the keeper of her thoughts and abilities. Life knocked on her door of challenges once again and this time, it exploded. It was November 27, 2011 she was confused and discombobulated in her mind; there were so many interruptions, it was crazy, out of order and out of her character. Tawana Williams didn’t know her name, social security number, date of birth nor her husband Toby.

Two days prior, there was a one sided altercation that tipped the scales by Tawana’s baby sister; it got ugly, violent and physical. Tawana was always so positive, persistent and powerful, such an optimist; thinking back, it was probably a matter of time before something erupted in her life. “New level- New Devil.”

At that time in her life Tawana had seven men-tees that she was accountable for on a weekly basis, and because her Mind was Interrupted with chaos and confusion, they too experienced those feelings. Have you ever had a Domino Effect Syndrome (DES); where the first square fell then everything after that fell too? I know you have. Her men-tees were experiencing their own greatness as up and coming Speakers, Authors, and Leaders. On November 27, 2011 it stopped them too as Tawana’s Mind was Interrupted because of a stroke…

“Life never knows your physical address, it just continues to knock at you door; especially when you least expect it.”-Tawana Williams

Did you know?
  • That each year 700,000 people suffer a stroke. 500,000 of these strokes are first occurrences, while the rest are repeat strokes.
  • Every 45 seconds someone has a stroke in the United States.
  • The most common stroke is called the Transient Ischemic Attack or (TIA) Also known as a ministroke, brain attack, or amaurosis fugax.
  • A person suffering a (TIA) can experience difficulty speaking or moving the arm and leg on one side of the body.
  • The symptoms of a (TIA) last anywhere from a few minutes to up to 24 hours.
  • A (TIA) is your Stroke warning
As you read this introduction, I want you to think about what Interruptions you’ve had lately? Maybe it wasn’t a stroke, cancer, a physical sickness or ailment that interrupted you; perhaps, just as Tawana’s experience, it was that negative noise from a family member that triggered something in your mind that pushed you. Many times we choose to carry someone else’s Monkey on our back, instead of giving that Monkey back to its rightful owner.

“When a mind is trained to do a certain task it can perform it well.”
–Keither ‘Toby’ Williams…

“Mind Interrupted”-Experiencing Technical Difficulties, will challenge you to STOP owning the negativity, the drama, the chaos and issues that are not yours in the first place. So how did we get to this place? Is it because we’ve decided to do what we thought was best? Perhaps, could it be that we’re battling with the thoughts that have been embedded in our own minds by other people?  Maybe it’s because “we don’t know what we don’t know.” After reading “Mind interrupted”-Experiencing Technical Difficulties, you will learn to move past your fears and doubts that have been holding you captive in your mind. Tawana proclaimed for many years that, life doesn’t come with instruction nor directions; sometimes you’ve just got to Figure It Out.” She realized time and time again that the enemy was weak and the only power HE possessed was the power that SHE released. This book will guide and change your thinking about mis-haps, possibilities, limitations and mind-set structures. It is a Must Read!

“Some things are Possible to some people, while the same things are Impossible for others.”-Keither ‘Toby’ Williams & Tawana Williams

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.  John 14:26 (KJV)

Foreword
By-Keither ‘Toby’ Williams
Tawana Williams Husband and Best friend
Contemplating how to put these words onto the pages of my soul mate Tawana’s latest book was a challenge and a difficult task for me. We’ve been friends for more than forty years. In fact as children we played together, I fed her cookies and candy, tied her shoelaces and yes-carried her in my arms when she got tired of walking; I love me some Tawana. Seriously, devastating loss often comes with a price. Tawana’s powerful mind-set revolutionized the words “Figure It Out” and “I can do it.” So there’s no surprise to me that although she was born without arms, gang raped, raped by her step father, addicted to crack for ten years, experienced abortion and motherhood, ultimately, I knew that she would figure it out and overcome her latest dilemma; a ‘stroke.’

My wife Tawana has always been the one who ‘finds the need and feels it,’ once again, she did it with her latest book “Mind Interrupted”-Experiencing Technical Difficulties. Her mind-set is so positive and she has an uncompromising spirit that even a ‘stroke’ couldn’t move her into a level of comfort and couldn’t stop her persevering will. Comfort zones cause most people to become complacent and eventually they quit; not my wife Tawana. She is so powerful that the enemy couldn’t take it anymore; especially at her last speaking engagement that you’ve read in The Praise of this book by Tawana’s friend Ms. Vernordra Haynie. It was so anointed and mesmerizing; words couldn’t describe the power she had. On that day, we shut the enemy down! It tried to Form and Prosper; however, It Did Not Work.

In Tawana’s first book “I’m Different But I Can,” It didn’t work; she shut it down. Her second book “Unarmed But Dangerous” The Tawana Williams Story of Relentless Struggle and Ultimate Victory, people were blessed by her tenacious spirit of Never Giving Up; she shut it down. Then came her third book “Motivation for The Soul”-Move Or Be Moved, she shook many foundations with her Circle of Friends and their stories; they shut that book down too. Her fourth book “Da-Bomb” Systems That Create a Wealthy Mind-Set exploded and once again, it was shut down. Which leads us to her latest book “Mind Interrupted-Experiencing Technical Difficulties and HE the enemy, tried to shut HER down again; however, “God had his hands on her.” Did you know that my wife Tawana is a force to be reckoned with; therefore, she couldn’t stop if she wanted to.

After completing this book you too will understand how to experience the HEALING Power of God through your own difficult moments, experiences and adversities. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God, so let me ask you a question. How does a deaf person have Faith? My answer is by Understanding because you must understand that the ways of God are not the ways of man… 
God Bless You! Keither ‘Toby’ Williams-Tawana’s husband
