About Me

I’m just a normal gal in her early 40’s, living this life with purpose, and being intentional with what I’ve been given. I’ve been married for 20 years to an amazing man, however, I didn’t always feel that way. We’ve been through a lot to say the least and there have been many times when I thought we would break. God is so faithful to keep us together and in love. I’m a mom with boys; two teenagers, which is loud, crazy, busy, and sometimes stinky, but I love every moment. Again, there have been many moments where I may not have done this mom thing perfectly, but as long as I have breath I will not give up. In my professional life I was a hairstylist for 19 years until the Lord called me to lay my scissors down. I loved the industry I was a part of –  hair, fashion, makeup, and the products… gimme all the products!!! Needless to say, over the years I’ve heard a lot, seen a lot, and learned a lot. For so long my job was to make women feel good about their appearance, but a few years ago God began to create a shift in me. I began to see these women, and every woman for that matter, very differently. God started to show me that my many years behind the chair was my training ground for what was coming next; encouraging and empowering women. Recently, I left my career to follow the Lord’s leading into full time ministry. During this journey I also felt the need to make some changes in my life. The first was with my physical health. I was so particular about what my kids ate and the schedule they were on that I didn’t really take care of myself. I ate pretty good, but that was about the extent of it. I never exercised nor did I have the desire to, I didn’t really care about vitamins, superfoods, personal growth etc. Here’s the thing I’ve come to realize; I have one body for who knows how long and I have things to do, lots of things. God has given me a lot of responsibility and I want to feel my very best as I do all that he has called me to. I have also made changes in my spiritual walk with Jesus. I’ve learned the importance of forgiveness, repentance, and inner healing. God never meant for us to carry our wounds in life. He paid the ultimate price for us to be free. I have have been free from fear and anxiety for 6 years and promised the Lord I would share this freedom with anyone that needed it. As I’ve made these changes I have become very passionate about healthy living physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally all while helping others become the best version of themselves.

The Mission

My mission for this blog is to empower women to be all that God has created them to be. God has given each of us a very unique and specific purpose here on earth. My heart for you is that as I share my journey you would be encouraged and inspired to do what God has called you to do; even in the messiness of real life. My hope is that this will be a safe place to create a community that can cheer each other on in these real life moments. So here we go friend… Welcome to Anchored Hope!
