About

Life is all about what and who we choose to see. I choose to see you and I choose to see God's surrounding love. I believe that life is a gift and we are on a journey we need to pay close attention to, messages and messengers all around. I believe our best and brightest days sometimes come after our darkest and that we are created not just to survive but to thrive with passion, power, and purpose all of our days. I am not content to go through the motions and I will not allow anyone else's negativity steal my joy. Born in Washington DC, early years in Arlington Va., raised in Miami, graduated Furman Univ. and Masters from Duke, have served as a hospital chaplain, church minister, counselor, and mentor.
