Author: Robin Sykes

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.

Datach and Depend

Robin Sykes

No matter where we are right now Or what we are doing,
We can detach from it for a moment and depend on
God Presence fill us. Now matter how hard the struggle Or how hopeless life can seem , We can detach from it for a moment And depend on God Light shows us a new way. No matter how low we may feel Or how wrong we think we have been, We can detach from it for a moment And depend on God Love heals us. No matter how lost, how scared, Or how angry we are. We can detach from it for a moment And depend on God Peace lifts us. Life may seem so confusing , so complicated , so frustrating Or life can be so joyous , so nurturing , so exciting. Gratitude can be our reality and Faith our guiding star. If we remember to Detach and Depend on God.

He Lives in Me

Robin Sykes

I sleep in His peace.
I wake in His joy.
I walk in His light.
And am warmed by His love.
And all that I am and will ever be.
Is all because He lives in me.
