Desire: a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. We all have desires. Some of us live and die with them while others find a way to manifest them. This month I’m getting very clear on my desires. You see, for years I thought I was less than the rest of the population. I thought something was wrong with me. As a child I came to a silent resolution that I must have been born into the wrong family. All I wanted to do was connect, bond, and have meaningful conversations with my parents and siblings and it didn’t happen. Prince Charming isn’t coming to save m ..read more

My Story…The Real Ordeal….. I’ve lived through rejection. I’ve lived through rape. I’ve lived through emotional and psychological abuse. I’ve lived through physical abuse. I’ve lived through emotionally unavailable parents. I’ve lived through a narcissistic psychopathic father. Manipulation to no end. I’ve lived through the chaos of domestic violence. I’ve lived through heart break. I lived through watching my grandmother deuterate and die in front of my eyes at a very young age. I’ve lived through faking life as being ha ..read more

Seeing those cute little puppies from a distance sparked so much in me. I instantly felt warm and whole in my body. Excitement rang from my toes all the way up to the top of my head. Before I knew it I was smiling, ear to ear. My heart leaped as I got closer and began to admire God’s creations. My day, just got brighter. So many tiny ears, noses, tongues, teeth, and toes. 8 pups. All so precious. After a few moments of being in awe of their cuteness I took the plunge and picked one up. I chose the one who was quietly asleep, off to the side all by its self. It reached a part of me deep ..read more

I'm now officially divorced! It is time to change my last name. There were some mixed emotions. I had to have a conversation with my children as this is all new territory for them and I, but the power of communication is phenomenal. At first I contemplated not changing my name as to not upset my children, but you know what? I lived so much of my life as a people pleaser, responsible for every human’s negative emotions and frankly I’m done with that. Many people have asked if I will go back to my maiden name. My response—NEVER. My maiden name has so much negative connotation to it. It remi ..read more

Never in a million years did I picture myself divorced. And certainly NOT with seven children in tow. But here I am. It’s my new reality. How I got here is a very longgggggggggg story that I will be sharing in pieces. The story will make you cry because it is real life—my life. It’s a life I knew I didn’t like deep down, but I was too scared to be honest with myself; let alone the world. I came to a point where I couldn’t hide it anymore. It was eating me up on the inside. Deep down I knew in my core being something was wrong in my own home, yet I couldn’t put my finger on it. I blame ..read more

What does one see when they look at this picture? A young girl standing in a bathroom? I see a mighty warrior who has endured hell, been kicked down, the carpet pulled out from underneath her, the wind knocked out of her… but after she caught her breath she decided to rise again. And again. And yet AGAIN.This woman is me. I am a beautiful soul in love with life and humanity. I thoroughly enjoy using my brain power to find ways for making money creatively. I’m also a mother. A SINGLE mother. I’m a mother to 7 wonderfu ..read more

Being a mom is pretty ordinary to me as I’ve been one now for over a decade. When my kids have a need they don’t think twice, “Mom, mom, mom, mom? mom?.” It’s a good thing really. They have learned that I am a trusted person in their life that will meet their needs.While having a conversation with a trusted friend, I was asked…. “What does being a mom look like for you?” I was a bit dumbfounded by the question. She continued to explain that not everyone has the same belief system or the same things that are important to them. I was inspired by her question and took time to think it out and ..read more

Ambitious women know how to work hard, but do we know how to play?  For me it is in my nature to work, work, work. Taking care of people and helping solve problems is my profession and I enjoy it. But do you know what happens when I only work work work? Yup, you got it. I get burned out.  I'll define burn out as uninspired, tired energy that leads to mental and physical exhaustion and leaves one in a funk." After my recent adventure that I'll call my "Day of Fun" (You can view it here) I could feel it on the inside. All my life I've had to be serious and it caused a "fun" deficit. I've always ..read more

Every mom knows there are always things to get done, therefore I say there is NO RUSH.  Going after each task, on thing at a time, allows us to focus and keeps our stress down.  If you are anything like me, you enjoy squashing unnecessary stress!  1. Time management is great way to lower stress. Time Management is a skill that even the best of the best realize they can always improve upon. Dividing your time can be challenging because, let’s be honest, there is always something to be done. Being productive in life by setting goals and achieving them has built my confidence over time. As a wise ..read more

 Who am I? I am an entrepreneur and a mother.  The mix really does go well together.  It is however, a bit challenging.  Finding time for everything is impossible without a strategy.  Days where I go lax on my organization I really get thrown off course and can end up....well you might say on the "moody" side.  To eliminate that unpleasantness I work diligently to keep things in order.  I've learned first hand that order brings a sense of peace of calm that I can't get enough of. "The Reset" is a powerful idea I picked up ..read more
