How did you get started?

Through education and self-exploration, I moved from a childhood of poverty and chaos into an adult life of love and miracles.

Gratitude, Love of life/people/planet/animals, Love of Learning and discovering new perspectives keep me passionate about life.

How do you live intentionally? Are there tools/resources/practices that you rely on to help you stay mindful and grounded?

I create a vision for what I want. I draw pictures and make it as real as possible so it can act as a map to the things I desire. I find the smallest step toward my goals and I take it. Then the next step, and the next. It is incredible how effective this simple process is.

I have a gratitude practice that keeps me grounded and authentic. I am blessed beyond measure with family and friends and I am grateful for them and all I have every day.
