About Me:
Full Disclosure: This was me a ‘couple’ of years ago before the covid era and home haircuts… 😊
I’m an author, a wife, a mom, and a child of God. I love photography, writing, reading books, spending time with my family, going for long bike rides and being outdoors in nature. I’m a lifelong learner and love using technology to help others.
Having a relationship with God and being divinely guided has changed me and my life in amazing ways. I pray that you too have a wonderful relationship with God, and for His favour to be upon you and your loved ones.
“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (NLT)

Being Who You Are and Loving It
My Why:
Too many people are not happy. They are living life based on a method that does not work for them. Life can be hard, unfair, and seemingly impossible to deal with sometimes. Dreams are shattered, hope is lost.
When life is hard, we need a way to get through these difficult times. We need hope, encouragement, and inspiration just to get through another day.
Sometimes life is repetitive, dull, and we feel unfulfilled and depressed. We seek to live a better life filled with joy and happiness, a life filled with meaning.
You may believe that if only things were different, you could be happy:
- if only you could get that dream job…
- if only someone (spouse, child, parent, friend…) would do something differently, or stop doing something…
- if only you were healthier and had more energy…
- if only you had more money…
Everything we hope for, everything we dream about, is because of the desire to feel a certain way—to feel good, to be happy. There is a belief that when a desired goal or dream is accomplished, happiness will follow. Sometimes we receive the happiness we hoped for when we accomplish a goal, but sometimes we accomplish a goal or receive what we hoped for and end up feeling disappointed because it doesn’t bring the happiness we expected.
Time is precious. This very moment of your life is special. Why wait for everything to change before you are happy? Be happy NOW! Life is not a destination; it is a journey. Arriving at a destination, accomplishing a goal, receiving what is hoped for can feel wonderful, but it is only a small stop along the way through life.
Seek to attain a calm, peaceful mind and see things differently. Discover your greatest self and break free from the chains that are keeping you stuck in fear, anxiety, and overwhelm. Life is full of challenges, but you can love yourself and your life anyway. Be the powerful, amazing person you are.
My Prayer for You
May God bless you abundantly and lead you out of darkness into light; out of pain into freedom; out of poverty and debt into prosperity; out of boredom and depression into purpose, meaning, and fulfillment; out of sadness and loneliness into joy. I pray that each day will bring a smile to your face; that angels will watch over you and all of your loved ones—protecting, healing, loving, and blessing you on this wonderful adventure called life.
“God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.” Psalm 91:11 Contemporary English Version (CEV)Everyone is unique and special but the awareness of this is often lost through conditioning, life experiences, and the influence of society. Through these learned experiences we develop limiting beliefs, fears, and self-esteem issues that keep us from fully embracing and accepting who we are, therefore; separating ourselves from God and from who He created us to be. We lose connection to the things we’re passionate about and life is dull.
When we have the kindness and courage to love and accept ourselves without trying to be like someone else, we get to live the unique and magnificent life God designed for each of us to live. When we live authentically, we experience the peace and joy of being who we are.
Here is a scripture about how very special and unique you are:
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:13-16 (NIV)
Scriptures to change your thoughts and change your life:
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 (NIV)
“Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” Romans 12:2 The Message (MSG)
God is always with you:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
