"I'm sorry we have no place for you in Band or Choir, you are tone-deaf." I was ten when I heard these words and had my first dream stolen. By the grace of something greater than me, my mother found me a person to help me change this story.
Since that moment in time, I have been guided and directed to never allow another to steal my dream. Don't get me wrong, there were times when fear and obstacles slowed me down. However, I was not going to allow others to write my story. I had my compass and direction and beliefs that guided me, many times without my knowing it.
It wasn't until I was in my 40s that I saw my purpose and intended path in this world. I was mentoring youth, young adults, and volunteers in creating and building bridges of connection. It was like a veil on my life journey was lifted.
I wanted to help others who had experienced a similar dream stealing I had experienced at ten. I work with To give you the confidence to try, and the personal strength to succeed.
For me, discovering my strengths took time. But once I let go of fear, I realized that there was no limit. My first step was attending coaching school, where I learned the tools that I now live my life by.
I believe my purpose is to become the fullest expression of myself and to help others do the same.
