I was born in 1972 in Pok, New York. My mother was a caretaker who stayed at home to take care of me. My father couldn’t seem to keep any job due to his alcoholism. We lived in 4 states by the time I was 5. At that point, my mom became so sick of uprooting me, that she left my father. We then moved in with a family member and I grew up in Poughkeepsie until 1989. At that point in time, my father was dying, so mom and I moved to Las Vegas to spend the last few years with him. As you can imagine, at 17 years old I rebelled a lot. Coming from a small town to Sin City, I followed the Grateful Dead band while making grilled cheese sandwiches in the parking lot.

At the age of 23, I found out I was pregnant, oh what do I do? I cried to my mommy. We are a catholic family and we do not believe in abortion. This little boy became my world. I went to Real Estate school and knew that I would do everything in my power to take the best care of him. When Joshua was 2 years old, I felt that something was missing. I then met a man and he adopted Joshua.

Things were going really well. We had a nice home, I had a wonderful career and my little boy had a Daddy. Or that was what I thought, but oh, I was so wrong. I learned if you don’t love yourself, you cannot be loved by others.

Soon 13 years flew by and I was abused and I was also an alcoholic, just like my father. In 2013 I crashed my truck, almost died, spent the night in jail, and I woke up! I knew this was no way to live. I left my abusive husband and found a cute condo just for Joshua and me. There I did a lot of healing including giving up alcohol completely. I lost 50 lbs and I also appeared on the Dr. Oz Show. Miracles started flooding in and they did not stop.

A few years later I met my soul mate. Gary and I do 100 mile bike rides, travel the world and we purely love life. My now 23 year old son Joshua, lives in Sedona. He took his witnessing of my failed marriage, etc, and now helps other people who have been abused mentally and or physically.

I just thought I would share with everyone, that once you begin living from your heart and with love and real self-love, miracles will flood into your life and they will never stop.

Love and light.
