My Story
So, if I were meant to be victorious, why was
my life such a mess?
Why was my life so depressing?
As I traveled my journey of life I found out that my environment, things that I was told that were negative, and the things I saw all played a part in why my life was such a mess and depressing.
I received it all as truth and it altered my life. I was born in Philadelphia, raised in New Jersey with frequent long stays in South Carolina. I have faced a number of challenges in my life that was so devastating that it caused me to do things that didn’t benefit me.
I was raised by someone that I thought was my mother but was not. I was told that I didn’t have a father and that wasn’t true either. Hence, “Identity Crisis".

We were all meant to be victorious in everything that we do. We were all meant to live and live a life full of abundance. We were all meant to live a fulfilled life of purpose and vision. We were all meant to be a blessing to ourselves and a blessing to others.

- I am victorious.
- I am living an abundant life.
- I am living a fulfilled life.
- I am living a life full of purpose and vision.
- I am a blessing to myself and to others.
The TRUTH is:
That’s the real truth!
The Struggle to Change
The struggle was how to change my belief in that “so called truth”. I had to DECIDE if I wanted to change. The same effort it took me to seek death and poverty is the same energy it took for me to seek life and abundance. I chose life and abundance. I had to FOCUS on what I wanted and not what I didn’t want.
So, I wrote it down and kept it with me at all times and read it constantly. I wrote it in the form of affirmations. I wrote my future in the present tense (ex. I am victorious). I had to BELIEVE that I could be or have what I wanted. I had to FEEL it and I had to get EMOTIONAL about it as if I were already in it or doing it. I had to SEE myself in the future. I had to SEE myself successful and joyful. I had to LIVE it in my mind! I had to ACT as if I had already received what I was seeking.
I had to SHUT out all negative thoughts and speech. “Life and death is in the power of the tongue”. When the negative came I had to do the opposite. I had to VISUALIZE myself already achieving it by getting in a relaxed position, closing my eyes and feeling like I had already achieved it.
My Passion
My passion and desire is to help you change your “so called truth”. My passion is to help you in a holistic way. Holistic meaning "whole-ism", entire, all, total. You, as a whole person, determines in an important way how the parts behave. You are a complete being not an individual who may have an unresolved challenge.
My passion is to help you seek and achieve the growth you desire in your personal life, family life, mental life, business life, physical life, spiritual life, and more.
My desire is to provide you with guidance and insight to a desired end. Building trust, confidence and a supportive relationship with you, which is vital, to your success.
I understand how you feel.......I’ve been there! I understand how you think……I’ve been there! Let me help you get beyond the negative and experience real life.
I want to help you discover as you travel this journey called life, how to live abundantly in every area of your life. This is the greatest gift that I could ever receive. You must know and understand that YOU are the author of your life. YOU are the creator of your life. If you focus on what you want you can have it. So let’s start building a relationship together - today, for your success.
