When Evil speaks
When Evil does
When Life Challenges or Knocks You Down
When you Don't know Why
When Storms Arrive 

How do you Respond?!
Before we travel another step, it's important to know who is speaking into your life, to learn more,  you're in the right spot by visiting the first shares on this page which provides the framework present day of  "Living In My Truth" and of course that includes
the "About" page.

Please know, I don't share answers, I share a perspective which comes from my belief,
​my environment, and experiences along the way. 

Please take what can be an asset for this day, and for the journey ahead for you. 

​Hugs,

Hurtful, Unimaginable, Painful Places, Out of your Control Places, it's imperative that you Take Time to catch your breath, to do the work, to get healed within.  It is imperative to Fill Your Cup, to put the Oxygen Mask on first before assisting anyone. 


Consider, those who dance with evil, speak from it and make decisions from it, consider there is "no boundaries", and there is no consideration on the damage that will be delivered. NONE.


For me, when it visited my home, interrupted my life, my plans, and including as a woman of Faith confronted me directly asking, Where is God now, and can you Trust Him?!, it arrived with vengeance without regard of what it would mean for anyone in my home which included the "ripple effect" of the village of family and close friends.


MY thoughts,  a storm comes to destroy, to create destruction and that includes damage left behind once the storm passes, and from any disaster some don't make it out, some don't walk out of a dark room. Some lives are never the same and just can't seem to find there way around the broken pieces.  **Whenever, I'm sharing in such a delicate area and recognize that our vantage points, our foundation is very different, it's important to me share with you, the Hope / Suicide Line available 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, the phone #: 800-273-8255, it's not just about suicidal thoughts, for some it come mean a voice, a venting place before a line snaps emotionally, and for some there are no resources or trusted friends to draw from, so if you need help get help, if you have life someone needs you now or down the road, don't allow anything to rob you of life.


So with that, SOMEONE NOT MAKING IT OUT. . .FOR ME, IT BECAME VERY CLEAR ON HOW TO MAKE PAIN PAY DIVIDENDS, ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE TSUNAMI that came to my home.  


God's Grace, allowed me to see to not allow Anger to rob my sons and I, of traveling forward through life's journey, to not lose hope, or become overwhelmed, to review the page that we embraced in our lives, and have read many times; Eagles Rise above the Storm, they use the Strong Winds to Go Higher, that is winning, that is taking what tries to rob your life and "choosing in smite of" to continue to Soar not just for yourself but for those who may be watching and need to know they can go higher, who need to know they can come out of a dark room.


Allow me to say, our work, our journey, our hopes and pursuits are uniquely like our own fingerprints.  When you find your Why, it no longer depends on the validation of others, it is living in your truth and recognizing "at least for me" how to be of our service, that is very fulfilling. 



Yes, I do Trust God, and my prayer was Lord what can I do with this Pain that "TRIED" to steal my Faith, that tried to ruin the generations that are grounded with Faith and understand Service?!  What can I do with it?!



When Evil visits and when life knocks you down, strips you of your hope, your joy, your plans, and that includes those who don't have a foundation of Faith, or Hope. . .A great option is to not allow a moment to Trigger you, to rob you and or trap you into a dark place that you can't come out of, including making decisions out of anger.  Some decisions out of anger, you can't recover from, some decisions out of anger can cost you a lifetime.   



IN MY OPINION, when you allow Anger to become lodged in your heat, that means Evil, Challenges, being Knocked Down Wins.  It means that it robbed you and continues to rob you daily, robs you blind of what you have now that is priceless, precious, and surrounds your life now.  


Every story is not meant to be shared, but from a humbled heart, that can include to be in service silently knowing that you can relate and you can share a kind word, moment, and or peaceful silence all of which, can be a gift to someone else. 


There is not one way to Pay Back what knocked or knocks you down, when Tragic things happen, just be aware of what tried to and or is trying to Destroy your Joy, just take time to heal, take time to pause, to gain your perspective, your and than consider how you can be of service.  

​
Sometimes, the greatest gift is when you learn the journey,
​is so much more than just about you. 

If you only Take One Thing Away . . .

Do the Work 
Get Back Up
Take Time To Heal
Continue Forward

and 
​
"For Some" consider what you can YOU do to make a difference
in the lives of others, to be of service?!
"No One Said Easy" 
For Me, I've decided It's not about Easy, it's about Going Forward
and
For Some of Us that means
Encouraging Others Along the Way

    My Life Shifted, Altered.  
    I recognize that I don't Have Control over Tomorrow, 
    BUT, I Now Know What to Do with the Tragic,Evil Event that Invited ME to the Table.

    My Intent is to Share My Experience with the Hope that it can be a Rope for someone else who may have been Invited to a Similar Event.  An Event that Shatters Your Heart, that Delivers a Sucker Punch without Notice.

    I really don't  know where this all will Lead, however,
    "My Intent" is to share,
     What Changed My View
    What Changed my Direction
    because I'm Impressed To and My Plan is that 
    this will BE
    ​My Punch Delivered Back
