I am inspired by Love. I believe there is one source of Love energy that I refer to as God. My goal is to show my children that I love them unconditionally by the giving of my time, attention, and resources. My goal is to teach them what I have learned on my life's journey to help them live healthy, happy, and abundant lives.

My description of a "Power Mom" is a mother who continues to grow and fully expresses herself both in her personal aspirations and professional endeavors.
