While attending George Washington Carver High School in Coconut Grove, Florida, she met and married Amos Larkins, Jr., with whom she recently celebrated their forty-first anniversary. The year was 1958, and she was sixteen years old. Two years later she gave birth to their first son Amos II; their second son Anthony was born ten months and eighteen days later, a little over a month after her nineteenth birthday. Annette announced that she had contributed to the perpetuation of the species and was finished with childbearing. ÂThey were so close together; it was like having twins. she says.
When the boys were ten and eleven years old, she began singing at a local nightclub on Miami Beach, where she remained for two and a half years.
Choosing not to pursue stardom on a grand scale, Annette chose, instead, to enroll at Miami-Dade Community College, majoring in liberal arts. She graduated with high honors, receiving the highest achievement award for foreign languages; Spanish is her second language.
In order to determine if she wanted a career in teaching, she taught Spanish as a substitute teacher. Also, she worked as a reservations clerk for an airline, which afforded extensive travel benefits. In their in flight magazine, the company published an article that Annette wrote. She manufactured a salad dressing; The Little ChefÂs dressing was a popular item in health food stores, and customers were disappointed when it was no longer available. One day while shopping in one of the stores where the dressing had been sold, Annette encountered a lady who asked, ÂYouÂre The Little Chef arenÂt you?Â
ÂYes, well, I was. replied Annette.
ÂThey told me that you stopped making the dressing, and I am, now, looking for something comparable to it. My son says that if he canÂt have The Little ChefÂs, then he just wonÂt eat salads.Â
ÂWhat a commercial! though Annette; however, she would not be swayed by such remarks. The reason she had produced the dressing in the first place was because people said she should market it; so she did, but she lacked the passion to see it though to its greatest potential.
One day when her husband, a diversified businessman, requested that she obtain a Property and Casually Insurance License, in order to complement his Life and Health License, she did that too.
Her perpetual quest for knowledge and new experiences eventually landed Annette into the computer age. In this world of motherboards, CPUÂs, and unknown peripheral devices, she found fascination and challenge. No longer a stranger in foreign territory, to date, Annette has built six personal computers.
After learning so much about computers, she wondered, ÂWhat now? She preceded by combining acquired technical knowledge with innate creatively to compose personal greeting cards, using poetry to accommodate the occasion, along with clipart, photographs, and a protective plastic cover. She also wrote a textbook for her grandson that taught him how to read and helped with his first grade studies.
ÂI have always been passionate about motivating individuals to make changes that will enrich their lives; I like stimulating the psyche of others and helping them to discover the power within themselves. she expresses.
Via her recent booklet, Journey To Health, Annette introduces her lifestyle to the masses and looks forward to the next writing project.

This review is from: Journey To Health (Paperback)
I would like to say that it would be cheaper for you to order annette larkins books from her website, because this price is extremely too high.
