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.

Thoughtful Thursday

August 28, 2014 Robin Sykes

Thoughtful Thursday is the perfect time to be mindful of those around you, at home, work and in public, who may have thoughts, concerns or needs which you may not be aware of. Try a little harder to break free of your own busy world and try to be aware of other people’s feelings! It’s a wonderful thing when you can be more thoughtful and considerate towards others. It is quite a gratifying experience.

Be the best friend you can be by always being there when your friend needs you the most.

Get involved in volunteer work in your community.

Hold doors for people behind you.

Try to be more conscientious of others feelings.

Please do not forget to say Please, Thank you, Excuse me, etc.

Much Love and Many Blessings

Touch a Heart Tuesday

August 26, 2014 Robin Sykes

Take the opportunity to show your love towards others. Just like the old 60’s tune goes Put a little love in your heart and this stands very true even to this day. After all, love is eternal and a little bit of love goes a long way.

Tell those that you love, I love you.

Be a good listerner. Don’t jump to offer advice-just listen.

Much Love and Many Blessings

A quote by Barbara DeAngelis

August 22, 2014 Robin Sykes

Living with intergrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even thought it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe and not what others believe.
