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.

A prayer

Lord, show me how I can be an encourager of others who might feel they are in a small place. Let them know that lives leave an eternal impact on those they serve.

A Scripture from Psalm 145:1-18

Robin Sykes

I will highly praise you, my God, the king. I will bless your name forever and ever. I will bless you every day. I will praise your forever and ever. The LORD is great and he should be highly praised. His greatness is unsearchable. One generation will praise your deeds to the next. Each generation will talk about your mighty acts. I will think about the glorious honor of your majesty and the miraculous things you have done. People will talk about the power your terrifying deeds and I will tell about your greatness. They will announce what they remember of your great goodness and they will joyfully sing about your righteousness. The LORD is merciful, compassionate , patient and always ready to forgive. The LORD is good to everyone and has compassion for everything that he has made. Everything that you have made will give thanks to you O LORD and your faithful ones will praise you. Everyone will talk about the glory of your kingdom and will tell the descendants of Adam about your might in order to make known your mighty deeds and glorious honor of your kingdom Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. Your empire endures throughout every generation. The LORD supports everyone who falls. He straightens the backs of those who are bent over. The eyes of all creatures look to you and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and you satisfy the desire of every living thing. The LORD is fair in all his ways and faithful in everything he does. The LORD is near to everyone who prays to him, to evey faithful person who prays to him.
