I am a firm believer in following your dream. As a child, we are assigned our purpose in life. My purpose is to help people see their own lives differently. Not to focus on the sinking quicksand but to look above and reach out for the nearby overhanging branch. I am a Christian woman, who has relied on God to bring me through and He has delivered me through hardship time after time. He has been the reason for me to lift my eyes from trouble and to see He is often the olive branch. I am extremely excited to finally live purposefully.
