What better way to describe myself to you, than to make a bunch of I AM statements. Instead of the insecurity in sharing, I can be confident and write several affirmations of self-love. 

 

 I AM a dark horse! No one would have picked me for success as a child, as a teenager, in High-School, or even as a young adult. But they were wrong. They never saw me coming. Some people are still scratching their heads in wonder. I AM like the bumble bee that's not supposed to fly but does anyways.

 

I AM a rule breaker. I want to create, innovate, and dream. The standard formula for success and perfection kills all creativity. I hate the "cookie cutter" way for doing things, I want to color outside the lines. I want to inspire women to forget all of those "standard" expectations and write their own story. Forget your past, your childhood, your education (or lack of), and your current circumstances. You can find success (maybe you already have) despite these things. I want to help women find the truth that will set them free.

​

I AM a wife (married 25 years) and a mom of two children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I can barely cook, cannot sew, and can't find my keys 80% of the time. I come from a broken home, surrounded by domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and constantly moving. I was married at an early age and a teenage mother. I am not just the bumble bee that shouldn't be able to fly, I AM also the Oyster that produces pearls out of great suffering and pain. Out of all that pain and suffering I have collected many beautiful pearls, my husband and children being the biggest and brightest. Pearl counting is a past-time of mine.

​

I AM a woman, that wears many hats, who suffers from ADHD, and relies on God to make the impossible possible on a daily basis.

 

I AM the CEO of a multi-disciplinary medical group, and find my job to be part of my self-care. I get to be creative, build things, and inspire those I serve. Every day I push myself outside my comfort zone to help me feel alive, and this blog is part of that.

​

Life's constant pressures, failures, frustrations, set backs, surprises, and even pain transformed me into the person I am today and helped me find my relationship with God. He taught me how to truly love others and how to use those set backs, failures and pain to connect with people. This process produced joy, peace, kindness, goodness, and gentleness in me despite my troubles. This is what I want to share the most.

​

Can you tell I love analogies? I have one for every stage in my life. The palm tree is the analogy for the current stage of my life, maybe it can be yours too! As a palm tree I am able to bear the storms in my life (I seem to have a lot of those) by bending and adapting with the storms and winds, but never broken. Standing tall as a symbol of victory!

​

I am not a writer, I AM someone who feels called (maybe pushed by many people) to share my stories with you.

 

Thank you for stopping by, I AM grateful you did!
