Happy Valentine’s Day to You!

Full-Service Conflict Resolution Boutique teaching strategies for goal setting, accountability, and sustainability.
“We are intentionally designing a convening that will capitalize on the fact that we have all of you — the experts — in one room. At the Summit we’ll connect across boundaries to ignite dual sparks of creativity and purpose. We will spend our time learning from one another and actively designing solutions for how we tackle some of our communities’ largest challenges, together”.
Last month, the Wellbeing Summit was held in Charlotte, NC. I had the honor of being invited as a local maker, to showcase my business and share my products with some of the nation’s most recognized thought leaders and change managers. It was an honor to be invited, since this was an invitation only event and it highlighted the fact that when one suffers, we all suffer, and when one has a well thought out solution……it should be shared!
Today as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., take a moment and check on your neighbor, your friend, you family member…..and get a better understanding of what they currently need. It could be as simple as an encouraging word or as detrimental as a nice hot meal.
Whatever it is, let’s do our part to bring the world a little closer together today.
Happy MLK Jr. Day and may his spirit live on forever.
I would love to curate a personalized Vision Board to fit your needs. Complete the form below & let’s chat.

I hope you are well; I pray things have been working in your favor and I wish blessings upon blessings on your life.
So where have I been? I’ve been doing all the things. Coaching, Consulting, Organizing, Developing and Facilitating! The grand thing about it all is that I love what I do.
I’ve been showing up in new spaces, introducing the world to Origins of Peace and the peace methodologies that I use to conduct business.
I’ve been demonstrating the art of softness in my message, my work, my thoughts and actions.
I’ve been shedding the belief that business has to be corporate, buttoned up and hardcore all of the time. I have to admit that it feels great!
You may be under the impression that in order to be taken seriously in your business your message has to be perfect, your brand has to show consistency in all areas, and you have to complete a 10-point check list of things to do before implementing.
Truthfully, none of these things has to be perfect for you to make an impact.
Romans 12:4 says “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function”…
We all have unique talents and different areas of influence. Focus on your strengths and allow The Law of Process and The Law of Addition to work in your favor.
What are you focusing on today? Are you ready to get started?
If you’ve been on the fence about starting something new because you do not feel qualified enough, it’s okay to
We each have different areas of influence and we inspire in a variety of ways.
You are strong, you are powerful, you are brave, you are capable, you are worthy, you are entitled, you are prepared, and you are worth the effort it takes to make your dream a reality.
Once you take the first step toward your next, all of the elements that you need to refine your vision will start falling into place.
Trust the process of next and keep pushing forward.
If you are ready to move forward and peacefully create your next, I would love to help you create the blueprint for your something new.
Let’s discuss your next. Is it a new career path, new business, or something else that you are interested in?
Now is the time to plan and create.
Let’s work!
