When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985, I promised God that I would share my story for as long as He allowed me to live. I saw myself living pass the five year mark that the doctors said would remove my concerns about dying. Now I truly wake up every day doing what I love, writing, traveling, and speaking in a way that encourages others to live beyond their wildest expectations. You will have it when you see yourself with it!
Your life should be a series of pivotal moments that remind you of your strength and endurance. In times of quiet and reflection little things will pop up and put a smile on your face. It can happen when you least expect it but also when you need it the most. I left my comfortable life style in Richmond, Virginia and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2009 with a brand new car that I had not made the first payment on, and a job offer, which ended two weeks later when I got sick. In spite of that, and becoming homeless two months afterwards, I still saw myself with a brighter future. Although I didn’t have all the details I knew it was time to change my mind set in order to change my circumstances. Fast forward to ten years later where I am currently living in Charleston, SC, retired, debt-free, working part-time at Chic-Fil-A as a hostess, along with my continued passion of writing, traveling and speaking. As a hostess at Chic-Fil-A, I am given the wonderful opportunity to share my beautiful smile and my joy for serving others. As an author and motivational speaker I am constantly writing, speaking, networking, blogging, creating content for my on-line business and organizing events and opportunities for others to share their passion. You will have it when you see yourself with it!
