About the Author My walk in life has been very unique and challenging at times. As a young mother at the age of fifteen, I began a journey that would develop me into the woman I am today. I was born and raised in Bolingbrook, IL until I was fourteen and then moved to central Florida. I met the love of my life the first week I moved there while in my freshman year of high school. We have been married now for 25 years and God has always been the center of our marriage. As young teenage parents we faced many challenges but overcame them through the grace of God. We were blessed with one daughter and two sons. In addition, we adopted our granddaughter when she was born. Our hardest, most difficult challenge was losing our twenty nine year old daughter July 31, 2023. Through God we are standing firm on our faith to bring us through this life with peace and knowing her spirit is here with us. My career has been a ministry leader for many years, as well as; a home school mom/Grammy for over twenty five years. God, family, and living life to its fullest are the main focus of my day to day life.
