The Life Principle That Helped Me Become the Parent I Needed to Be.
Posted on April 20, 2026 Leave a Comment
Hi there,
Of the 53 Life Principles I write about in my upcoming book, one has been pivotal to how I parent my two children. My mother often said, “Just because someone else experienced it, doesn’t mean you have to.” Through this principle, I became a big advocate of choice, freedom, and responsibility. I could “take the good and leave the bad” from my experiences. In other words, I did not have to continue something that did not resonate with me. Learning that I could create the family I wanted gave me divine expectancy and hope. Knowing that I might have the chance to raise children kept me observant and open-minded.
Parenting is one skill that is meant to evolve. The more we know (through experience), the more conscious our parenting can be. If a parenting skill worked, I stored it in my heart. If not, I looked at how I could make it work (dissected its parts), tweaked it, or threw it away. I was hesitant about the latter because there is always something to learn and therefore apply to a situation.
I let my emotions, feelings, and what resonated with me guide me. I felt my emotions and allowed them to teach me what I needed to know. I asked if it was right to let others feel the same way.
Parenting is another class in the school of life. There is always something to learn about ourselves. These life lessons are the tools we can apply to other life events. Parenting allows us to cultivate and express honesty, patience, and time management skills.
I am very grateful that my mother sowed a principle that would help me to be a student as well as a teacher.
Life principles are not meant to imprison us, but to free us and enjoy the wonders of life while preserving the peace within.
To be continued…..

Finding Strength Within: A Mother’s Words of Wisdom, releasing May 5th, 2026
Posted on April 14, 2026 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
When my mother made the life-changing decision to leave a relationship in which she was no longer thriving, she had very few material possessions. With three children under the age of 5, $4000, and two suitcases, she chose courage, self-trust, and the belief that something better was possible. Over the years, she reclaimed her voice and the courage to speak the truths forged through her most trying experiences.
That voice is the heart of the second edition of A Mother’s Words of Wisdom: From My Heart to Yours — Building Within. In this book, I share 53 life principles passed down from my mother during a period of transition and uncertainty. These lessons are grounded in resilience, self-awareness, and strength, offering guidance to anyone seeking clarity, inner peace, and authentic self-expression.
Over the past several years, through blogging, my podcast Create A Generational Love Cycle, and live videos (e.g., Fulfill Your Divine Purpose Facebook, YouTube), I have shared how instrumental my mother’s words have been—both in my life and in the lives of others. A Mother’s Words of Wisdom is engaging, heartfelt, reflective, and transformational. It invites readers to master their minds towards peace, purify their hearts, and reconnect with their inner truth—one word of wisdom at a time.
Over the coming weeks, as I am doing today, I will be sharing excerpts from A Mother’s Words of Wisdom.
“As I stood up from the dining room table, a surge of energy rose within me. Curiosity steadied my attention as I waited for this gentle intensity to reveal itself. It enveloped and caressed my heart, illuminated my mind, and yielded the sweet aroma of gratitude. I smiled, knowing that God blessed me with a mother who sowed virtues. I also knew that not every mother had the opportunity—or the capacity—to share their painful experiences lovingly.”
A Mother’s Words of Wisdom will be released on May 5, 2026. I look forward to sharing more about this life-giving book in the weeks ahead. I am so excited to put all of these life-changing lessons in one book.
You can catch my most recent episodes of Create a Generational Love Cycle here.
To Your Best Life!

Noise is all around is. But, it does not have to be in us.
