Through the years of experience, we learn true happiness can only be found within oneself; and when we open our hearts to the wonders of the Universe, it is only then that we can truly find peace and solace in our souls. I have bared witness to countless miracles and am a firm believer that everything in life happens for a reason.

I have lost loved ones but have also gained faith and the discovery that those who pass on are never really gone. They are forever with us in spirit, loving us, and helping us along our journeys in life. All that I have endured has molded me into the woman I am today, perhaps the woman I was always meant to become.

I believe that all of our life experiences have a purpose and are meant to help us grow along our paths in life. For every step I have taken along the road, I am grateful. My faith has been restored, and my courage, strengthened. I consider myself extremely blessed, for every day, whether it be full or sorrow or bliss, it is all a part of my healing, my journey and me becoming a more spiritual me.
