I am a parent of 2 girls. It has always been important to me to show them that 1 of the most important things that they can do to be successful is to adjust. Because I had them at a somewhat young age, they have been able to witness a lot of ups and downs in my life. Many of those downs could have lead to poverty or depression but instead, I have made adjustments. Whether that be adjusting my expenses and diversifying my income after a job loss or adjusting my environment during toxic situations. Some of this adjustment has included using the resources that I had available including savings to pay bills, friends for support, and self-care resources. More than anything, I want them to grow to be strong women full of light and positivity. Read more>>

If you really believe in something, every stride you take will be towards that goal and even if you have to veer away from it, you will usually come right back to it, Focus is everything even if it takes a little more time than expected or desired. Rome wasn’t built in a day! Read more>>
