: About Me

I live a passionate and determined life! I live my life on purpose! I take things as they come and rise to a greater level of ability to overcome and achieve more than my wildest dreams, and if you don't do that on purpose I have found that most of the time you won't do it at all.

I dream bigger than myself. I've realized the desires within our hearts are most often abilities that we possess and don't even know it. Our desire to do something gives way to pursuing that dream, and our dreams create the level of our abilities!

I live a life led by faith and am not moved by what I see in circumstances that present themselves in my life. I live fearlessly and my mission in life is to touch the lives of everyone that I come into contact with by demonstrating the true power of love in everything I do and say.

I am the mommy of 7 children. Four of them are my biological children and three of them are my step-children. I absolutely live to love them, teach them, nurture them, train them, and envelop them with the goodness of God!

I love to write and paint. There isn't a day that goes by that I am not blessed to be able to do one or the other, and some days I get to do both! I've been writing since I was a little girl, and that gave me a tremendous outlet to create and bring life to whatever I wrote. That passion both invigorated and relaxed me at the same time!

I also adore the lessons that I have learned about living life through painting, and how beginning with a clean, unused canvas is not so different from how we should clear the canvas of our minds to start fresh with each new day. When my mind is clear it makes room for the creativity and life to flow from what's inside of my heart outward. So as I create and design, I am given a fresh perspective through new eyes on how to create and live life to the fullest at the very same time!

Every day we are given the opportunity to paint a beautiful, vibrant masterpiece with the colors of our choices. The choices we make determine what our picture is going to look like at the end of the day! What will your picture look like at the end of this day?
