Dr. Linda Bell-Robinson is a name synonymous with excellence and dedication in the realm of law enforcement. With an illustrious career spanning 36 years, she has firmly etched her legacy.

Following her retirement from law enforcement service, Dr. Bell-Robinson now embraces the opportunity to lend her voice to various community issues. She is particularly enthusiastic about her involvement in initiatives like Getting the Vote Out. However, she is equally excited about exploring new directions in life.

One such direction involves expressing herself through writing, which she finds therapeutic and enjoyable. Despite knowing that her writing may not always align with the preferences of editors, Dr. Bell-Robinson is passionate about sharing her thoughts across a diverse range of genres. In this collection, you'll find three pieces that reflect her journey, offering glimpses into her diverse perspectives from spiritual to experiencing life.
