My Story...
A window view of neighborhood drama, working with the candlestick burning at both ends, & kidville still rewarding, yet something was missing. There had to be more!
I was obliviously falling into a motherhood trap, watching life happening around me, & only existing.
But why only watch?
You know how YouTube can suck you in, teach you something, & have you on a mission?
Well…
He started in on his sales pitch, & struck out at the pitch.
His build-up was intriguing, & thought-provoking 1 question in my mind why?
Why was I not doing what I wanted anymore? Why was I not working towards any of my dreams? What were my dreams? “Maybe today they’ll eat without making a huge mess!”
Why Was I Not changing my life for the better anymore?
I had aspirations, sitting there waiting on me.
I simply wasn’t giving them attention, or myself.
I started falling off my prime into tired mom, letting myself go into gaining weight, & toting around negative emotional baggage. Which was the complete opposite of my once happy go lucky free spirited candor.
That day answering my own questions, opened my mind back up to my optimism.
I was surprised it still existed given a negative living circumstance.
The gift of Hope, a once feared emotion of excitement followed by streaks of dissapoointments, appeared like magic.
Years of rippling waves of anger streaming down my face & gut wrenched, teeth clenched utters of forced “no’s” that onced closed off my future were truning into possiblities right before me as soon as I said yes to changing my Life!
I thought I had accepted my life for what it was, but I settled for the sad snaptshot of poverty instead & had called it acceptance.
The micro steps of making do inadvertently turned into surviving.
A perspective change opened my eyes to no longer setteling into depression as my lifestyle. I was ashamed of myself, and wouldn’t forgive myself for going from privlidge to proverished. .
” Through acceptance, one can find a way to thrive. “- Meida
I was angry with myself for stopping the strive, letting fatigue lead decision making &, letting go of hope.
I wasn’t one to ever give up on anything, even if a fallen intention sat there idle.
I was miles deep in the thick of it all that i couldn’t see the light of day, to even phatom having hope.
Where ever that bolt of lighting came from – Thank You!
I was elevated into action!
From privileged, achieving, & thriving, to pulled down into the bottomless pit that is homelessness & struggling to keep heads above water, to becoming a mermaid who’s thriving.
That day possibilities emerged from the darkness of despair, post partum depression, mentally stuck at “can’t”, & surged my “ existing “ back into action !
My highly tested faith was re-strengthened. Change was possible again.
Even though I once upon a time felt as unable as a sapling in the bellowing currents of a tsunami, I was now able, willing, & optimistic to keep going until I found a solutions to my problems.
Circumstance may have detoured my pursuit, but, achievement in my mind was once again attainable.
Have you ever wanted to feel alive? Maybe didn’t know how? Or couldn’t see past ” your reasons?”
When you move yourself past your road blocks & start looking for workarounds, you can feel jolted, excited, fueled, erupting with life, & empowered.
I must have been a dormant volcano, who simply needed give herself attention.
Courage, determination, & tenacity flowed like an infinite explosion of viscous lava out of me for the next 7 years as of writing this.
After reestablishing, the start of single parenting, going to school &, finding a way to work from home while homeschooling, life began to change for the better!
Blogging, Virtual Assisting, Coaching, all became a blended path to freedom.
I started with a gig building a website for a low flat fee, & monthly blogging for $75/m, living on housing, food stamps, & in a 2bdr with 3 of my 4 kids. To just to start!
Door after awesome door opened, & life started changing within a few months. We got to upgrade in life while others got to thrive.
A pedestrian hit & run derailed me for a bit, putting my arm out of comission, & mentally sent me searching for what I could do.
After a few months of ” forced down time to recover”, I couldn’t deliver my premium offers, & had to restrategize – hence the importance of a strong passive income stream strategy.
In the midst I was able to attain a local marketing assistant position for a major resturaunt chain &, gained a new mindset perspective – perserverance through slow healing, rerouting me to step even more into my forte & living my Best Life as That Girl!
I learned to be extra selective, to rebuilding a dream life, to give more than you take, and can share a lot of what’s making it successful even though I was small, with the people who’ve asked for the who, what, where, when, how, & for tips for successful ventures.
Once Upon a Time..
I’ve helped Mom Brands: create products, build business systems & home management systems, funnels, strategize business productivity & marketing, elevate their brand presence, generate sales, increase social media engagement, I’ve also designed, ghostwrote & copy edited, taught how to’s, & mindset life coached. And, now that chapter of life is complete. These doors are closed.
On to the next chapter...
I’m grateful for the time spent during Life At Home ( link to category page), because it gave me time to explore, learn, select, & share. That knowledge has been helpful to answer the many questions I get asked that lead to the birth of this blog.
I Found You!...
That sense of happiness, abundance, elevation, gratitude – fulfillment.
Confirmation. I’ve found my purpose.
My Why...
Life got hard, I wanted to break down, but 8 little eyes were looking to me for what to do.
I had to keep going!
A 5 min pity party followed by rise to thrive.
And now, even more eyes are looking, asking, & waiting for an answer.

The Road to Freedom...
Relocated, Elevated, Confident, Worked with Amazing Brands, Bossed Up Biz, Lighter, & Happier!
A road trip with kids gifted me mental freedom, new strengths, awesome travelers for kids, & the new chapter of our lives!
I was a travel guide when I was little 😂. Every time family came to town, my parents would take time off, and we’d show them around, explaining, touring, learning, and had a blast!
Then we’d travel, tour, learn, and had photo albums and stories to share with our guests who came over to our home.
I had heard God that day on the ad, asking me if I wanted the change in my life to take form, all I had to do was say yes!
And now on to venturing the world with rambunctious tikes, where the possibilities are limitless.
