Sometimes I wonder how I ever had the courage to start again.
Through Christ, and the help of others, I have overcome insecurity, poor self-image, and fear. I've experienced financial, emotional, and spiritual victory. I've watched men and women accept Christ and have seen their lives transformed by the Power of the Lord.I've had the honor of speaking to thousands of people and encourage them to pursue their life dreams, the financial goals and their spiritual truth. I've built strong, vibrant businesses. I've worked with women all over the United States and have been recognized as top in my field by more than one company.Yet, in 2012, just when our lives should have been free-wheeling and kicking into high gear to live the good life, my doctors diagnosed my with two types of cancer. I found myself starting all over again. This time, I knew it had to be different. This time it called for ReInvention.
You have two choices when you face the loss of everything you've known and hoped for.
You can give up. Or you can start again.
Whatever you decide, once you face the loss of almost everything, you can't go back to living like everything is just the same. I was different. All the confidence I had built up; our big dreams for the future; the ideas of how I thought life would play out just weren't there.
But I knew I had learned some things along the way that would help others. And, I knew that if I could just put it all together, I would be able to help women who also found themselves wondering, "What Now and How?"
ReClaim Your Hope - ReIgnite Your Dreams - ReInvent Your World. A Belief Revolution
- All the years of trying to figure out how to be Authentic and Mask-less
- How to express the belief that I was ENOUGH
- How to help women create a live beyond the collapse of economics or health, divorce or death.
- How to speak hope into the corners of a woman's heart when she doesn't know how to hope.
I want to help women have the tools and the support to realize that who they are is ENOUGH. It's not about a mask. It's about Authenticity. It's about taking all the things that are meant to break us, and create a platform to stand on.
Because I had learned how to discover who I was at my core. When I finally stripped down all the masks and pretense - I realized I was ENOUGH. And I want women everywhere to know that truth for themselves.
I used so many tools to peel off the layers of masks:
- Core beliefs and character strengths tests to get to the heart of what is important to me.
- Personality Profiles to value my bossiness and appreciate the personalities of the people around me.
- Spiritual Gifts tests to learn how to walk in the woman God has made me to be.
I returned to coaching women with business and life skills strategies to help them create a life they can love.
I began to speak to anyone who would listen that in this world, you only have one time through - make sure you are Living At Your Best and showing up as the real you.
I'm not nearly done living this life that God has given me. I don't know how much time I have left here. I don't even know what next week will bring, much less next year.
Once cancer taps you on the shoulder, it lurks around the corners.
And in 2020, my darling Richard flew into the arms of Christ. And here I am. Living. When I didn't know how I would ever be able to.
All I know is that whatever is in my future, God is there. And I intend to live and share all that He has given me.
My heart's desire and passion is to help you know this truth...
YOU ARE ENOUGH!
Whatever bright dream fills your sleep; whatever picture of the future you hold; however you want to show up in the world, don't wait.
I know what it's like to have doubt and fear. I know what it's like to have people doubt you. I know what it's like to have to face yourself in the mirror and start again - and then start again.
Thought Vandals show up to steal our hopes and dreams. Self-image and the media-driven idea of what is successful, attractive and worthy scream in our ears. We speak negative, dark things to ourselves that we would never say to others. We fight traditional education beliefs about what it is to be a woman, ambitious, and Christian. Maybe I'm too old? Maybe I'm too young? Maybe I'm from the wrong culture? Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Marketing and social media keep us off balance as we try to stay relevant.
We ache with disappointment and yearn for success. Who hears us? Who gets us? Who cares?
I know these questions, fears and frustrations because they have been my own. I know them because the women I work with tell me they struggle with the same things.
And HeartCode was created to help answer those questions with biblical solutions.
So you can ReClaim Your Hope - ReIgnite Your Dreams - and ReInvent Your World.
