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 quote

Robin Sykes

My soul thirsts for the love of God that satisfies every longing of my heart. So I take time now to separate myself from the busy moments of my day. I can imagine myself in a lovely garden or a serene place that soothes me and opens my mind and heart to a meaningful experience of God’s loving presence. In this moment, I let go of any distraction or concern and in the stillness, immerse myself in the presence of God’s love. In this sacred place alone with God, I plant seeds of faith. The love and wisdom within my heart assure me that the seeds I plant will grow strong within me. I am empowered to move forward on my spiritual path. During this quiet time, my soul is nourished by God’s loving presence within and around me and I drink deep from the wellspring of divine wisdom. I have a sure faith that God is with me throughout every experience and I know that I will leave this sacred time with fresh resolve and renewed strength.

A prayer

Robin Sykes

No one can take my good from me, Attuned to the presence of God, I am in harmony with myself and with others. I consciously choose love over hate; peace over conflict; compassion over fear. Differences disappear as I focus on the love of God moving in and through me. I behold the Christ in others and give thanks that, in Truth, we are one.

A prayer

Robin Sykes

God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of love, joy and contentment. In the silence of prayer, I receive inner strength, peace and faith. The presence of God within me is a limitless source of faith, strength and power. I rest in the knowledge that God is in charge. I relax, let go and allow God’s peace to come forth in my life.
