Meet Author Regeneis Winters


Hattiesburg, Miss. (PRWEB) August 10, 2013

Rejection is never a pleasant experience and, in some cases, its ef-fects can be devastating. Regeneis Winters, author of REJECTION IS NOT MY NAME, knows this and in her honest and deeply moving memoir, she talks about the times she experienced the pain of being rejected. More importantly, she shares her personal journey of re-demption and how she refused to let rejection keep her from moving

forward to the life she was destined to live.

In her memoir, Winters openly talks about the difficult episodes of her life— her troubled childhood and how she ended up being raised in foster care, her unstable relationships and her son’s passing. With honesty, she gives voice to the darkness that comes during times of weakness but more importantly, she recalls those rare moments of

light that ultimately let her find the grace of salvation.

Winters’s resilience is inspiring and her story is eye-opening. Now at 38 years old, she is unwavering in her resolution to make God’s plan for her come true. “Despite everything I went through in life, I never let it stop me. The hand that I was dealt was not a good hand but I played it to my ad-vantage. I always thought and knew that God had a plan for my life

and I am determined to see that plan fulfilled,” she says.

REJECTION IS NOT MY NAME is an extraordinary true story of how one woman found faith, love and healing in the midst of the harsh realities of life. For more information on this book, interested parties may log on

About the Author A native of Hollandale, Mississippi, Regeneis Winters currently re-sides in Hattiesburg where she and her husband serve as pastors of Freedom Covenant Love Ministries. She discovered her passion for writing at a young age and always knew in her heart that one day she will publish her own book.

A Family Reality – The Food Peddler Farm Market


Cleveland, Ohio - There are few things better than enjoying fresh produce in the summer. Local farmer’s bring their bounties to a variety of ven-ues throughout the summer. However, things are just a little different at The Food Peddler Farm Market, located at 4250 Fulton Road in the Old Brooklyn area of Cleveland, Ohio. The former home of a thrift store has been converted into a year round marketplace filled with fresh produce, and over 1,000 Amish products including jams, jellies and butters, as well as a large selection of bakery fillings, nuts, seeds and flours, including gluten free products. There is a section that is home to traditional and exotic cooking sauces as well. Fresh backed goods and an extensive deli counter gives the store a warm feel to the shop-

ping experience.

The market is the pride of joy of the Kafcsak family. Patriarch Ken had been retired for ten years when he and his wife Kris made the deci-sion to bring new life to a large empty storefront that abuts one small shopping plaza and is di-rectly across the street from a larger bustling plaza. Ken’s face lights up when he talks about bringing a new and exciting business to the com-munity and the creating 35-40 new jobs in the area as well. Kathy beams as she talks about the hands on approach the family embraces and the joy of watching people shop there. Kenny and Kris gave me a guided tour of the deli area, offer-ing samples and discussing the difference in the

meat selections and pointing out best sellers.

The lower prices, wide variety of product of-ferings make The Food Peddler Market the per-fect place to shop. Market Hours: 10-7 M-F and

9-7 Saturdays.

Las Dos Fronteras– A Culinary Gem on Cleveland’s Westside


Cleveland, Ohio—The minute you walk through the doors of Las Dos Fronteras you are immediately struck by three things: the cleanliness, the coziness and the smiling faces of the wait staff.

Located at 3292 Fulton Avenue, the main entrance is on Carlyle Avenue, a quiet street in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood, the restaurant serves authentic palate pleasing Mexican Cui-sine. On my first visit there Edward was kind enough to explain the menu items to me and I decided to order the steak burrito. It was large enough to fill a dinner plate and came with three small cups of various salsas. My bill came to $5.00.

The food was amazing, reasonably priced and far exceeded my expectations, so much so that I paid another visit a week or so later. This time I met with the owners who insisted I try the Flan. If you have never experienced this dessert, Las Dos Fronteras is the place to go. Creamy and delicious and baked to per-fection it was the perfect ending to the perfect dining experience.

The restaurant is family and group friendly, a large selection of menu selections, and is moderately priced. They are open seven days a week for dine-in, carry-out or delivery. For those dining in there is free wi-fi and cable tv. Credit cards are accepted and on a scale of 1-5 the noise level ranges from 1-2.

Overall rating of Las Dos Fronteras is perhaps unorthodox but it is as follows: On a scale of 1-3 for a family style restaurant Deliciousness - 3 Ambiance - 2 Quality of service- 3 Value-3 Price- $ (Under $10) MWE
