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, sports fan, foodie, 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.

Secret of Life

Take time to Think. It is the source of Power. Take time to Play. It is the secret of perpetual Youth. Take time to be Friendly. It is the road to Happiness. Take time to Work. It is the greatest power on Earth. Take time to Love and be Loved. It is the way of God.

A Prayer

Robin Sykes

Father, You’ve called us to serve one another. Give me a heart willing to accept the care of others. May I ask for help when I am in need and respond with a heart of grace to others when ask me for help.

Faith Rekindled

Robin Sykes

Dear God, in quietness and faith I turn to You. I recognize Your presence within me, for Your life is the vitality and strength of my being. Your peace and joy are the peace and joy of my being. I live and move and rest secure in Your protecting presence. Should anything come to me today to test my faith, I call upon Your abiding, sustaining power within. I meet all challenges triumphantly. Should anything or anyone try my patience today, I remember that You are the harmony and peace of my being. I abide in the constant realization that You, loving God, are in the midst of me. You have placed within my heart the spark that kindles my faith. I am illumined, guided and protected. How heartwarming it is to know that You are with me, right where I am every moment of every day.
