Life coaching fell into my lap after I decided to pursue a deeper meaning of life and understand my life’s purpose. Understanding my life’s purpose didn’t come without me learning to understand and love myself first. Going deeper into my spiritual being has helped me discover my strength, power and confidence. I found myself through meditation, prayer, and facing my fears. I was able to help others find their strengths, talents, purpose and the ability to live in harmony with who they indeed are.
All my life, I thought I was ugly -
because I was bullied about my complexion when I was younger. I allowed other people’s opinions to become my reality and allowed their opinions to live in my mind for more than 20 years. I had to learn to love myself at 39 to accept all of me, not just the parts I like the most.
I love the spotlight but hate the attention - I'm a walking contradiction.
I love the spotlight for certain aspects, the way I dress, to make people laugh and feel comfortable, and dancing; I know how to move, and I love to show it off. However, I tend to shy away from the spotlight when I must present to a large audience, and I don't want to be the "popular" kid; I would rather be the kid in the back of the room no one notices.
I love dancing;
it takes me to my happy place. When I dance, I have no worries; any stress, anger or frustration melts away, and only joy remains. There is calm inside of me. When I step onto the dance floor, people will watch, and I make sure to give them a show because, at that moment, it is all about me. My creativity comes alive; I fear nothing because I am everything. I am me.
I cry all the time.
When I was younger, I was a total crybaby, but when I got to high school, I did my best to hide my emotions but ended up being the angry black girl. However, when I hit my 30s, all those emotions I was trying to hide started to come out all at once. I would cry after watching two puppies in a dog food commercial and Monsters. Inc. movie. I just started telling everyone I'm an emotional person, so don't be surprised if I cry during one of our sessions.
