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

Robin Sykes

Lord, we don’t dare trust in our own strength to do our tasks today. You are the Giver of our talents and opportunities. Help us use them not for our own advancement, but to help others.

A quote by Buddha

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When Words are both true and kind, they can change our World.

Thank You, Lord for Angeles

Robin Sykes

Thank You, Lord for Angeles You send to us each day to comfort and to guide us When we have lost our way. They come disguised as humans So their wings never show, But we know we have been blessed Before they have to go. They may come to us as strangers Or someone next door. But we know you sent them, Lord, As You have done before. Sometimes we cannot see them Yet we know they are there, For we can feel their presence When God answers our prayer. Angles are older than creation They have always been there to serve God and protect us Anytime, anywhere. It’s nice to know we’re not alone When trouble come our way. Thank You, Lord for angles You send to us each day.

Listen , My Beloved

Robin Sykes

I am always with you When the sun rises each morning, I am with you. When it sets in the evening, I am with you. My love fills you and lifts you to new heights of awareness every moment of the day. The light of My love brightens every corner of your world and gives life to you and to everything around you. Let Me be your Guide. Let Me be your Teacher. Look to Me for direction – to know what to do, how to act, what to say. Let Me lead you gently through life. Live easily in the glory of My love. Listen, My Beloved. Listen for My quiet whisper of love and reassurance in the silence. As you open your mind and heart to Me, know that I am your inspiration, your constant companion. I am the goodness your heart desires and the unconditional love that sustains you day by day. You are Mine, Beloved and I am with you always.

An Invitation

Robin Sykes

The kingdom of heaven is like a wedding feast and I am an invited guest. This is truly the activity of God’s grace. I have been invited to the fest of life where everything I need has been provided. If I choose not to accept and enjoy God’s abundance or if I divert my attention elsewhere, I may feel like something is missing in my life – something pure and wonderful. Today I accept God’s invitation to the feast of life. I accept the invitation to be part of all that is good and holy. I open myself now to receive the bountiful goodness of God. I open myself to prosperity , wholeness , fulfilling relationships and rewarding work. As I enter into the fullness of life, I realize how much there is to enjoy and how much I enjoy being alive I center myself in God and am filled with compassion and understanding, happiness and peace. Life is a wedding fest. In the banquet hall of life, I find all that I need to be truly complete.
