Single Mother – Marketer – Author – Friend and Daughter of God
Earlier in my career, one of the hardest questions an interviewer could ever ask was, “If your friends and family members were to describe you in three words, what words would they use?” Now that I am a little more seasoned, I find this question to be a walk in the park. The ability to answer this question with ease has nothing to do with career tenure. Instead, it has everything to do with my own personal experience.
A few years back, my world as I knew it came tumbling down. It was like watching a storm getting ready to swallow me up. I was looking right into the eye of it, and there was nothing I could do to stop the destruction it would cause. All I could do was stand, hold on to the little faith I had left, and fixate my eyes to the heavens with any strength I could muster. I felt scared, weak, and alone.
Now if you ask how people would describe me, I will tell you, “determined, poise, and strong”. Who am I? A conqueror, a survivor, a victorious, willful person who is discovering the true me that I am. Uncovering the woman God intended me to be when He had me in mind!
What I have learned – and continue to learn – I use every day to become the kind of mother that will aid my little girl in discovering who she is so much earlier than I did. Not what society tells her to be, or even who Mom or Dad tells her to be, but who she is all on her own! My hope is that this blog inspires you in that direction.
