“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” C. S. Lewis

I believe in a God who loves each of us unconditionally and without regard to race or sexual orientation. My faith in our Creator has led me through the valleys of crises to the mountain tops of glory. For me there is no separation between my relationship with the Divine and my daily living. My learning curve may be a bit wobbly but I remain determined to strive to follow The Way.
For about ten years after I was diagnosed with a chronic condition, I continued to work, take care of my family and volunteer in various capacities. Then thirteen years ago, my chronic illness caused me to make major life changes. For as long as I can remember my desire has been to make a difference in the lives of others.
For years I strived to recapture my previous active lifestyle. Each attempt was met with failure. Then I realized these failures happened because of my refusal to accept my present reality. After some time of processing and dealing with the ebbs and flows of chronic illness, I discovered I could still make a difference. My current condition has taught me to be flexible and to be realistic. I learned to think outside the traditional boxes of employment and activities. I started looking into different opportunities and found Life Coaching was a good fit for me.
I now have my dual certification, in Life Coaching and Christian Life Coaching, through the Character and Self Esteem Institute. Since I view my world through the lens of Christianity and my passion is to share God’s love through the gifts I have, prayer and strengthening personal relationships with God is an integral part of my coaching. My focus is on women in transition. My desire is to help each woman who comes to me find how to build on their relationship with God while fitting their dreams into their reality.
