What does happiness mean to you?

Happiness is faith, perseverance, strength, and others' happiness makes me happy. 


What struggle, challenge, or turning point shaped this joy?

My divorce, as well as a medical crisis, both occurring fairly close together, shaped the strength, joy and faith I have today.


Who or what changed your life or played a key role in your joy?

God. My ride or die people. realizing my own strength; the realization that I could do hard things on my own because I had no choice.

How did you turn adversity into strength?

Trust in God. Self-love. Leaned into my struggles and FINALLY asked for help.

What do you want the world to remember?

Everything is temporary. AND, out of every struggle, as terrible as it might be, there is ALWAYS something amazing that happens as a result. You just have to look through that lens to see it.
