ANITA IVETTE FERRER'S , music poetry, blogs,  beaded jewelry and art is a Brave Flame, piercing the darkness where many musicians and even angels fear tp tread She marches to the beat of a different drum, eschewing derision from scoffers who could care less about art and truth. She mows down music, fashion and spiritual boundaries barriers with courageous abandon

In 1982, she met  Jesus Christ  and her quest for truth, human rights, justice and  integrity began.  She connected with area pastors and  non-profit leaders helping to feed and equip  the homeless, broken, misplaced, vets  and  handicapped  from the Jersey Shore-Asbury Park area. The German-born daughter of a dark-skinned Puerto-Rican graphic designer and  German mother,, raised in humble circumstances, was no stranger to hardship,  rejection and  struggle inspired her to champion the underdog. She is a visionary

Presently, she wages a  crushing health  battle, Oromandibular-TMJ Dystonia. Mold Illness and  Mercury poisoning. She felled a past giant, Lyme disease in  1992, which compelled her to use her platform of journalism-research to help others suffering from degenerative and neuerological illnesses..

Today her art and outreach projects are comprised of recording and creating compelling, unconventional music. She also uses her gift of teaching and mentoring through her Wordpress blogs in the areas of Christian faith, victorious living and  self-empowerment through intimacy with God, Jesus Christ and holy Spirit.

Anita thought her life was over with that Dystonia diagnosis in 2007, but the Phoenix has risen!

Inquiries

Joy in the journey.  I'd always hoped that the road would gently unwind before me as i struggled to ascend to higher heights, while being pushed backwards, by the  continual and daunting symptoms of my many ailments. Just last week, as I was uploading my original songs and past gigs, to this website, i remembered  the anguish and  exhaustion   of supporting myself by delivering telephone books during the  day and  most evenings, I would be performing at the Oakland House, a private  event or a local tavern. My love for composing on the guitar and collaborating on original music with  John DeGrazio and Kyle Hicks saved me from suicidal  thoughts. God always made a way for me to  get fund to produce and record my songs in the studio.  I'll never forget  crying out  to God as I pushed a hand truck loaded with heavy telephone books, wondering why I wasn't touring with my band and respected.   The staggering fatigue from the  Lyme symptoms and  my carbon monoxide poisoning episode made me feel inferior and cursed,  The constant eking out a living wore down my spirits often and i wondered what my destiny was. 

      Angst, disappointment and regret, weighed me down often during my long Dystonia battle. but as I've finally come of age this late in my life, I acquiesce to the reality of Christ being my solid foundation. God's precepts have sheltered me from the sting of hatred, unforgiveness and retaliation. I know that His peace tempers me to have a grateful heart and make the most of every opportunity, however small.  I cherish, Moses' Psalm 90:12.

       Teach us to number our days that we may know wisdom.   

      No need to keep asking  Father God..."why"

       In the past, I often felt ,my creative and musical endeavors were not allowed to bear  the fruit they deserved for whatever reason. i wanted to be successful fashion designer, best selling author, renowned poet or well-loved music icon. too often, my creations had to be postponed indefinitely because of   constant interruptions of lie-threatening illnesses.. Worse yet, fewer and fewer invitations came as people became aware that the TMJ Dystonia symptoms  were diminishing my . I noticed with great anxiety, that my vocal prowess and guitar skill was also strained.  I'd expected  that I'd  get better with age, not worse.

       And so,, I determined in my heart, I would push forward no matter how much it hurt. I could not quit because of what Christ did for me. He destined me to be a conqueror and i was to  be a role model for precious  girls and women whose lives were shattered by trauma. As I scan  the horizon of my future, I'm assured that  He will bring beauty out of the ashes.  Behold, He arose  and redeemed me!
