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 blogger, sports fan, foodie, disabled woman, word search enthusiast, 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

Each day I choose what I will serve. I put my confidence in God and serve faith rather than fear, happiness rather than unhappiness, peace rather than confusion. I take into my heart and mind a new conference, remembering that I am the beloved spirit of God, that I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I remember that God’s divine and perfect purpose for me is good, that God is with me as power and life, whatever I do. God has given me everything I need to accomplish all the good my heart desires. And I am grateful.

Make Me a Blessing, Lord

Robin Sykes

Make me a blessing, Lord Help me To help those needing help, to be A blessing to my fellow men. Instruct me when to speak and when To hold my speech, when to be bold In giving and when to withhold; And if I have not strength enough, Then give me strength. Lord, make me tough With my own self but tender toward All others. Let there be outpoured On me the gentleness to bless All who have need of gentleness. Give me a word, a touch to fill The lonely life, faith for the ill, And courage to keep hearts up though My own is feeling just as low. When men have bitter things to meet And quail and would accept defeat, Then let me lift their eyes to see The vision of Thy victory. Help me to help; help me to give The wisdom and the will to live.
