I'm a girl born and raised in the inner city of Chicago. My mom and dad separated when I was young, and later divorced. So, it was all on mom, with help from family. She worked hard to give my three brothers and me a decent life. We always had what we needed and sometimes what we wanted. That was my Momma. Mom introduced me to spirituality when I was 15, Unity Church. That set me up on a spiritual journey, meditation and lots of reading.
I grew up without some of the luxuries that others had and often compared myself with my cousins and classmates. Classmates because most had two family homes and were more affluent. Cousins because family members made me feel less than. I didn't realize that affected me until I was much older, as it showed up in lack of confidence, fear, low self-esteem. Although, if you knew me, you would never have guessed it. I was an impostor! Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Later, I moved from Chicago to Dallas, from Dallas to Northern Virginia. Been married, now divorced (that's a whole epic of a story). I am now living a happy single life, while building my life purpose business! No, it ain't easy, but it is a wonderful journey!
I've studied spiritually for over 40 years, and this has been my guiding light and saving grace. God, Allah, Tao, Buddha, Universe, Infinite One is what picks me up, keeps a smile on my face, and reminds me that I am a powerful creator. That what I believe I achieve. I believe I can achieve anything I put my mind to, as long as "I am positive, Inspired, and In Action"! My purpose in life is to inspire and help people live the life of their dreams!
Although my career has thrived, is not my life's purpose. I'd mastered living a little, playing the game of looking good, riding good, making good money, but still playing small. Remember, I was living as an impostor. My journey was filled with bad choices, heartache, financial disappointments, trauma, abuse. I spent years waiting for others to save me, while living in the shadows of the stories I'd been telling herself.
One day I realized I had to stop! Stop feeling unworthy and being afraid of what others would think. I asked myself, Who am I? What do you want? Why? Is this your vision of your life? What's stopping you? I pulled out my journal and decided to write until I felt I had the answers. Till I knew I had the answers.
I decided to get out of my own way. Stop being in my head. Stop accepting less than. Stop allowing old beliefs into my new life. I got to work on me. I employed a coach, or several coaches. I earned some coaching certifications. I began to trust my intuition, be intentional and live now! You know, practice what I preach.
Ya'll change, real transformational change takes courage, time and work! Each step I took built my confidence and ability to create. Everyday I learn so much from coaching and teaching and I'm am great at weeding out the 'Impostor".
