Toni Hatton has always had a passion for children and family.  As a child growing up in Baltimore, MD, she’s always envisioned having a large family.  She also has the voice and passion for singing praise and worship unto the Lord.

      Toni has always been involved in organizations that support family and children’s causes.  As she held positions as Vice President of the PTA in the public school system, Member of the Govenor's Task Force for Education and Finance, and Board Member of the Parents of Blind Children, a division of the National Federation of the Blind.  She knew that God had called her to make a difference in the lives of those whom she’d encounter.

 

     As Toni began to share her experiences of God’s faithfulness in her life, she was inspired to document her story.  This story was not only about how the Lord was with her during difficult times in her life, but also how those trials were God’s way of preparing her for what He was going to do in her life.

 

     At a pivotal moment in her son’s life, she made a promise to him saying, “I am going to bring this world to your fingertips”.  By God’s grace, she has truly kept this promise!

 

     Toni and her husband Kevin have been married for 21 years.  They are proud parents of one daughter, Kristen, and three sons, Kevin, Kristopher, and Karrington.   She attended Towson State University, graduated from computer school, and completed a music program where she acquired voice lessons with Mrs. Carter, wife of the late Dr. Nathan Carter (Director of the Morgan State University Choir).

 

     Toni has always had “gifted hands” and entrepreneurial vision. She was owner and operator of Kristen’s Fashions where she taught herself to sew for weddings, proms, and special occasions.  She also created “Hatton House”, a merchandising business.  She is currently a Domestic Engineer (stay-at-home mother), Home school Teacher, Gold Team Leader of life-changing health and wealth products, Co-Chair for the Sanctuary Soaps Drama Ministry, Freelance Writer, Entrepreneur and Author of Don’t Be Afraid: He’s Preparing You!  She has also written a series of children's inspirational coloring books entitled "Fruitful Thoughts".
