Almighty God, we ask that you help us to have faith in you and in our country. As we celebrate our independence, may we turn to thee in gratitude and thanksgiving for allowing us to continue to live in a free land. Help us, O God, to keep in mind the ideals for which lives were offered in time of war, and our obligations to our communtites, states and nation. May we always live and serve side by side, under the and stripes forever. Amen

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, I am the youngest of eight siblings. My father has passed away, but my parents, both everyday people and U.S. Army veterans, instilled strong values in me. I graduated from Jean Ribault Senior High School and went on to earn my bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in professional writing, graduating cum laude from Grand Canyon University. Currently, I am an Avon independent sales ambassador. I am a Christian, a proud Florida girl, and an encourager. As a millennial, blogger, disabled woman, ambivert, and everyday woman, I embrace my multifaceted identity. I live in Jacksonville with my mom, cherishing my roots and the vibrant community that shapes me.
