We all have a story

Mine is much like many others. I was told that I was conceived in rape and given up for adoption at birth. Having been raised in an abusive environment, I have struggled with self-worth and insecurity most of my life. Our environment may play a part in who we become, yet our circumstances do not have to define our destiny. I believe when we are formed in our mother’s womb a powerful purpose is placed in our souls.

My Power

At the age of 55, I have come to realize my power lies in becoming who I was created to be. I was created to write, teach and preach a message of encouragement, redemption, and mercy. Lord knows I have been learning those the hard way. I am a wife, mother, friend, writer, and imperfect woman, who loves life. I believe it is in sharing our pain and our progress we find purpose and our place in this life. As long as we are alive our story is still being written.

My purpose-

Sharing stories

In June of 2018, I was able to share some thoughts on cancer survivorship in a TedX talk. Cancer Survivorship Finding Your New Normal, a topic near to my heart. I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer in 2007. If you are not familiar with this type of breast cancer and you are a woman or have a woman in your life, please click here and here for an education that can save lives. In October of 2019 I was honored to be the keynote speaker at Bella Pregnancy Resource Center Virtual Gala for Life.
