You have to have FUN!

Hi there ~

I believe fun is one of the most important things in life. I just can't take myself or life too seriously. I did it for too long in corporate America and it sucked the life outta me, which is why I went into business for myself.

I share my opinions openly & boldly. I hope you do the same. When we do this, it gives us confidence to make our own decisions and not base our opinions on what someone else tells us what to do and think. When I was 18, the legal voting age was 21 and when I turned 19 it was switched to 18. I was ecstatic about having this new freedom to express my opinion through voting. EXCEPT that my father told me how to vote!

I came home and told my dad that I was registered and his response was, "Great! Now here's how you're going to vote." At this young age and in the early 70's I told my dad that I would make my own decision and I voted the way I wanted to. This was a turning point in my life and one of the first steps into independence.

Who knew that only a few months later my dad would pass away and it would be me stepping into his shoes as the breadwinner in our family. But, that's another story for another post. I know my dad would be proud with what I have done with my life. I have created an amazing legacy for my nieces and nephews to be proud of. In fact, the lessons I learn from my gang has helped me create a thriving coaching practice where I help women entrepreneurs turn their dreams into realities.

You truly can do it all....whatever it is. You just need to know how to turn that dream into a reality. That's where my logo comes from. We all have a spark within us and with the right support you can ignite a fire in your life. I want you to experience that for yourself, which is why I've created this blog. So that there's a place to find answers to questions, be inspired, open your mind to new possibilities, and celebrate your succes!

So sit back, relax, read, be inspired, comment boldly, and come back often because I am here to light your fire!

Cheers ~
