I am a problem solver. Single parents needed help finding homes they could afford. I became a Realtor to help solve that problem. I was blessed to help 139 single parents find a home they could afford over twenty years as a realtor in Florida.

I just realized I have not updated this page; that I am no longer a Realtor, and have in fact stepped out in faith yet another time in my life. I moved in July 2011 from the East Coast to the West Coast, starting over in a brand new place for me, from Jacksonville, Fl to San Clemente, Ca. I no longer own a home, have rental property, nor any of my own furniture and I brought very few possessions from my past. I did bring many wonderful memories, my God-given gifts and talents, an optimistic outlook about the future and my trusty dog, Gypsy. The foundation for my path through  life is my walk with God, and I make no excuses for that. In fact, the longer I walk, the closer I get and the more He seems to be directing this blog into a book about our journey. However, I may have to rename and recreate this blog in order  to follow along.

The thing that I have learned along the way is that my work must center around the way God created me. Then it is not only not work, but a journey and a mission that fit well together. This part is not always easy, as the gifts I have been given often require a degree in order to be paid enough to appear successful. I am finding that if I combine at least one or two of my intuitive gifts I can find a way to cover my expenses until I figure it out. That means totally trusting God to provide a way for me on a daily basis, and is yet another strengthener of my faith.

I still love to help people enjoy their homes and decorate them with color, style and as little money as possible. I still try to solve problems. Together, with Him, I am still looking for opportunities to help others with problems that those who haven’t been there may rarely see. He has just graced me with not only a volunteer position at a pregnancy resource center, but also a paid staff position. I feel as though this is the place, time and opportunity He has been training me for over the past thirty years, and I pray that as I look back on the past years of blogging that this will be evident to you and to me. This journey is just beginning!

As I hit Update for this information, I just noticed this was originally published when my blog was started for me by my son, on May 25th, 2008. Out of 365 days, it is no coincidence that God had me update on this one. He always remembers our anniversaries!
