WHO I AM:
Here's a little bit about me, about the work that I do, my life's purpose, and how I can help you grow and succeed!
For years I worked in the corporate world with my work centering around detail oriented documentation, both in corporate engineering and production departments. There came a time when I left the above mentioned corporate world to stay at home and be my Mom’s caregiver.
This came at a time when I felt I was at a dead end as far as job selections and opportunities and felt I was ready for a completely new life experience.
My Mom’s illness became a life transforming event for me. I cannot recall any time, before then or since then, when I felt completely honored with a life calling. It was my distinct and cherished honor to care for my Mom and ultimately help her make her own transition from this world to her next greatest journey – to Heaven, where I have absolutely no doubt she is!
Our last days together were bittersweet to be sure, but also full of laughs, love and smiles. And for me, afterwards, a time of profound heartbreak and missing her.
That was over 20 years ago. While Mom was still with us in the twilight days of her life, I started my business – seems like a lifetime ago. She was so proud and supportive of me and my efforts, just remembering her wise counsel and excitement brings a smile to my face!
Over the years, my business has evolved, grown, kept me more or less straight, sharpened my dry sense of humor, and blossomed into that new life experience I’d had premonitions about more than 25 years ago.
I have never stopped learning. I always wanted to instill that insatiable desire in others, and one of my dear clients with whom I had become friends, his name was Daren, said I should start my own school so I could make that learning wish come true.
Well, Mom passed away 2 days after my birthday, that was 20 years ago. 10 years later, my friend and client Daren passed away exactly a week after my birthday. And I hear their voices, encouraging me, as I slowly make these dreams and wishes come true, with God’s help.
Over the years, I have been Mom to an entire flock of gorgeous bird children, another great honor of my life to have been able to be their Mommy and give them the best life possible. Most are now in Heaven at Rainbow Bridge.
A few are still with me here, and every day with them is an absolute honor, privilege and joy!
WHAT I DO:
It’s never been enough for me to just do one thing. I was blessed with a wide variety of talents and skills that I excel at and so I built a business around them.
God has given me all the tools I need to create the life I desire and I am making the most of everything He has gifted me with.
Having started out as a website designer, over the years I have expanded that to include a variety of services that small and medium businesses not only want but also need.
In no particular order:
- Website Design
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Social Media Management
- Graphic Design
- Digital Marketing
- Private Business Coaching
In addition, I thoroughly enjoy blogging – not only for SEO purposes and getting the word out about my endeavors, but also for the higher purpose of sharing information and tidbits with other people and small business owners.
My dream (and Daren’s) of starting my online school finally came about in 2022.
Much refined since those early days, I teach a full line of skills, services and motivational coaching via Zoom in 1:1 private online classes, personalized to each client’s needs for themselves and their business.
I am currently authoring several small business themed e-books and writing an inspirational / motivational book to be released in 2025, whose purpose is to show people how to live their absolute best life.
I have two Etsy shops where I sell handmade gifts, handmade custom made party décor, custom made downloadable graphics and in the other shop I sell vintage postcards, a literal blast from the past!
MY LIFE’S PURPOSE:
This is one of the larger questions of life. Rarely when we are young do we know the answer to that question. I’ve found that it is a thing that becomes apparent as we evolve and grow mentally and spiritually.
From early on I was given the task of caregiving – be it animals, people, those in need, situations, and my greatest of all, my Mom.
All of which is great, but not so much when you forget to take care of yourself.
THAT was an AH HA moment! Also a DUH moment! Life lesson learned.
Without further ado, my life’s purpose has evolved to showing others how to:
- Care for themselves mentally and spiritually
- Allow themselves to grow and be successful
- Care for and nurture their business so that prosperity and abundance is second nature
- Enrich their life by surrounding themselves with positive like minded people
- Kick negativity and Lack Energies such as fear, worry and stress to the curb
- Prepare for, ooze confidence and be a rock star on your job interviews
- And so much more
