I was the youngest of two children.  My sister was so beautiful and the quiet one.  Blasting into our family, I was like nothing they had ever experienced before.  As a toddler, my mom would have company over and I was climbing on everything.  To the extent that visitors would say, is she gonna hurt herself?  To that, my mom would always say, she is fine.  She does that kind of thing all the time.

Always excelling in school and having many friends, I had a zest for life and wanted to be a part of everything!  (Thank you, Dad, for giving me that).  As I grew, I always wanted to be the person to help everyone.  Entering my late teens and starting to have relationships, I would always try to help everyone with their problems because I thought that would make them happy.

Through the years of life and lessons, I married and had two beautiful children, a girl and a boy.  I never realized how much ultimate joy a child could bring and it was a life changing experience for me.

Through trials and tribulations and several relationships, trying to “fix” others and help them, it took me years to discover that was not my purpose here after all.  Through decisions made based on what I thought was the right thing to do, I was taken advantage of because of my huge heart.

I have been to hell and back and have the t-shirt to prove it. 🙂

Searching for meaning in my life, to make it all make sense, I was blessed to find a wonderful church and truly fell in love with my pastor and his family.  That is where I found peace. Learning God is never mad at me but loves me unconditionally.  I didn’t have to do anything right or wrong to earn His love.

It took me one more relationship of trying to “fix”, help and please that person to truly realize I needed to start focusing on caring for and loving myself.  For, I was the only person I am or will ever be in control of. Starting to research and study on how to get my life back, I learned to forgive others and to also forgive myself. (Thank you, Louise Hay).  I learned you don’t have to forgive the incidences but you forgive the person, for we are all in a different place on our journey in this life and we are all doing the best that we can with the current knowledge that we have.

In the meantime, I still offered words of inspiration to my friends and family, realizing THAT was the gift God had given me. (Not to fix but to encourage).  I knew that I wanted to reach out to the universe and touch as many lives as possible and share that even though we have been through hurdles in our lives, we are still beautiful human beings and we all have a purpose here on this earth and a wonderful life ahead of us. And that’s when I started reading blogs and understanding exactly what they were. I was hooked.  I knew that was definitely my avenue to get my voice and my love and my thoughts out to the world and to truly inspire people.  I also knew that I wanted to be the example for my children and their children and future generations.

That is how this blog was born.  I hope it will inspire you to live your best life, love hard and love deep, forgive those people that you need to, including yourself, set those goals you never thought you would accomplish, start learning to love yourself and live your most Magnificent life!
