About Me (In Detail)

About Me (In Detail)

I am a mother of 2. I am a blogger, writer, poet, consultant and trainer in the area of social media, professional and personal development and lifestyle. I am a news commentator, reporting on beautiful people (that are making a difference in the lives of others), creatives, social media managers, entrepreneurs, artist, fashionistas, designers, bloggers, etc.

My major interest of study in High School was History, Biology, Drama and Theatre. My majors in College range from business to World Religious Studies and Languages. I had the privilege to do my field studies in Central America Belize, teaching the Bible to the Mayan Indians in the Jungle surrounded by mountains thousands of feet high. The missionary plantation where I worked for two summers, (whose purpose was to provide medical supplies to the natives of that area.) had no electricity, at night, we had  candles. The weather was 118 degrees (In the shade) and there were bugs indigenous to that area that ate through toothpaste tubes. Quite an adventure indeed. I now hold a Honorary Doctorate of Divinity (DDS). Once out of school I continued this path for two more decades studying and receiving a license and two ordinations in ministry with which I have done a lot of teaching, preaching and building all to the Glory of God. As of 6 years ago I started a church that is still growing and going strong. I now reside not as the Pastor but the founder of that church. Since that time I have evolved on many levels, I do not adhere to any one religion, I am a student of life and the Creator is still blessing me.

My hobbies are: painting, mixed media, writing, reading, listening to a variety of great music, the selections on any given day is based on my mood. I also love to dance (these days, mostly at home while watching tv (such as XFactor or American Idol) and of course in the shower.

My interest and favorite pass times are:  Sipping on a splendid cup of tea, like Jasmine, lotus, Earl Grey, or Tazo/Awake. I like fine dining, traveling, meeting and getting to know deeply interesting people. I love fashion and all things of beauty. Last but not least I love good TV and great movies.

I consider the work I do in Social Media/Professional and Personal Development as my life work, which is continuing to grow and evolve as I grow and evolve. I am grateful to be living my present life and everyday I give thanks. I also give thanks for everything and everyone that played apart of getting me here, which includes seasons of “going through so much stuff” and the “school of hardknocks”.

 I am where I am as a result of being fired from my job suddenly, my husband divorcing me suddenly, the friends that walked away, my car breaking down, getting sick with no health insurance,   making bad choices in personal relationships during desperate and lonely seasons. I went through years of depression, fear, loneliness, heartaches and broken promises.

I confided in all the wrong people. They were the wrong people only because they could not fix my problems, my issues or my life. I was the only one that could do that. It took me years to realize this fact. 

However I never gave up. Gradually I began to come back to life after being at a standstill, dealing with so many limitations that I was not accustomed to.

I grew strong enough to take back my power that I had given to others, which led to me living a life of coexistence only. During this time I stopped caring, feeling, and breathing deeply. I constantly found myself alone and there was an emptiness inside of me.  Never did I blame the ones that walked away and quit calling( I still love them all.)  Nor did I ever see myself as a victim. I felt and still feel that, if I don’t love me, why should anyone else. If I don’t care about me, why should anyone else.

Finally after experiencing a rebirth, I moved from a life of sorrow.  I made a choice to change my mind and give myself permission to live life anew.  Suddenly I began to dream again and visualize a beautiful life that was obtainable. I affirmed life the way I wanted it in the present. Then I remembered my greatness, my gifts, strengths and abilities.  Soon my spirit of expectation returned and I began to think on what I needed to have happen and I expected it all to manifest and so many things did.

Through it all I realized that my greatest gift, my brand is to “inspire”.  Now I live a life of abundance full of love, peace and all the joy I can stand. Now I am reaching outside of myself to inspire others. I want to spotlight them and the work they do that not only benefits them but so many others they connect with.  This is my life and what I am about. When people compliment me now and say “Do you know how great and wonderful you are, my reply is “Oh Absolutely”! (With a smile)
