Have been told as long as I can remember that I am strong. I would tend to agree.....My life has been full of opportunities to use that strength, and those life circumstances to grow and evolve, to push myself beyond my boundaries and find new places to explore. There is a strength that simmers inside of me when life’s greatest challenges occur that I cannot explain. My latest challenge has been the catalyst to finally start my blog and find a passion to become a life coach to other women!  Helping them find a life they are wildly passionate about, like I have! Life is a gift and a treasure, and it is what we make it! We are not the things that come to challenge us, we are the choices we make in the face of those challenges! I LOVE MY LIFE and am never looking back and you should too:) If this sounds like it is for you! CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION! This is MY life and through all of it, I AM GRATEFUL! GRATITUDE CHANGES EVERYTHING! We can ALL do hard things that end up changing our lives! :)

How It Got Started

Have wanted to blog for as long as I can remember. Writing is my therapy. For years I have used my social media platform as an informal blog, and it was time to do the real thing......the catalyst being my husband walking out on us six days ago, seemed like as good a time as any to begin a brand new and brave journey! Recently I discovered that I want to become a life coach and help other women who have walked in my path! The sky is the limit and I am ready !!!😊

How It Got Started

For years, I have served as a helpful role to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. In 2000, I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings about our society. I founded Gratitude Journeys Life Coaching with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind, and it has been a wild success ever since.
