I am a lifelong Florentine, having grown up in historical Florence, South Carolina. I love the simplicity of country living. It helps to keep me grounded and grateful to God.  I am married to a wonderful man of God who is also my very best friend. He warms my heart and makes me laugh constantly. My hearty laugh has become my trademark. I believe with all my heart that “ A merry heart, does good like a medicine.”  (Proverbs 17:22)

Using my skills and knowledge, I am an experienced Corporate trainer who teaches staff how to use customer service interaction to “WOW” clients. I help them to understand the impact those interactions have on the organizations’ bottom line.

It is also a blessing to be able to live my true passion of encouraging women to discover the depth of their inner strength and share how they can use that strength to move forward in spite of life’s most difficult challenges. It is through my own personal journey, that I have a heart for people who are grieving over great loss in their life.
​
Experience can be an excellent teacher if we let it. Life has taught me to believe that resilience, the ability to navigate life’s challenges and still retain your sanity,  is a skill that can be learned with God’s help. It is a requirement of a successful, happy life. I also believe in second chances. I'm grateful for mine because it lead me to this ministry and to my loving supportive husband who is also my best friend. We are both grateful for our four sons as well.  I will always hold a special place in my heart for my son Justin, who desired the best for his mom. He  passed away in March of `2012
