Blog

In November 2016, our firstborn, Savannah, moved into Eternity which thrust us into a "new normal".  I began blogging in January 2017 as a source of healing and progression.  Please consider reading my blogs documenting this "process".

Coaching

Through my own personal journey, I have developed a passion for helping individuals who may feel "stuck" in their current circumstances, situations, and/or mindset to discover their balance, develop resiliency, and become inspired to move forward through personal coaching.

Coaching is a process which helps you unlock your own potential.  Through the use of dynamic questioning, awareness, and focus, I would like to partner with you to discover your "sweet spot" and watch you move forward.

 Where are you now and where do you want to be?

How will you get there and begin to THRIVE in this life?

Speaking

As part of my healing process, it became increasingly evident that people were in "need" of Savannah's story.  Savannah is a picture-perfect representation of beauty, honor, grace, and peace during her short life of 21 years and the last 10 1/2  months of her journey being critically ill in the hospital.  Being Savannah's mother, I am honored beyond words that I was chosen to be the mother of her two daughters.  Savannah's story of her resiliency and faith, the love of the God's people, and my growth through tragedy, quite frankly, must be told to whomever will listen.

Since January 2017, I have had the distinct honor and privilege of speaking to various groups of all age ranges, socio-economic statuses, and interests.  I've spoken in churches, businesses, community centers, and a prison.  I've enjoyed speaking to men's groups, women's groups, students, school employees, businesses, and organizations.
