Today…I cried for Haiti.
The tears streamed down my face as thoughts of my chronic diligence to acquire more met face to face with my blatant ungratefulness for what I already have…and I cried for Haiti.
When no more planes were allowed in because of limited landing space due to the debris and destruction from the quake I cried for Haiti.
When rescue efforts were stalled because of ‘logistics’ and the fear of violence and harm to the deliverers of food, water, and amenities I cried for Haiti.
When every media source plastered the unconscionably invasive images of the devastation, of loss of life, of survival…I cried for Haiti.
When reports showed Haitians without limbs, without food, without water…I cried for Haiti.
My tears flowed like a warm stream through the pebbled creeks of my sunken soul. As I brushed away the tears and gazed up into the clear blue skies, a smile graced my face. I was reminded of God’s awesome ability to create the most unlikely connections in times of challenge.
Today I cried for Haiti- but Haiti had been crying out to me long before any earthquakes.
Today I rejoice in the idea of being able to commit to the collective & continued efforts for stabilization, restructuring, and rebuilding of a once forgotten country that no one had cried for….until now.
In Love & Compassion for my Haitian brothers and sisters,

I am so grateful for all of the support I received for my co-host spot on Family Therapy Hour on WURD with Dr. Ijoy. You all were fabulous with your support leading up to the show (when I got detoured), during the show (the callers were energetic), and after the show (the ‘you go-girls’ are always uplifting.)
I found it noteworthy to thank those who understood and openly supported the focus of my business. I am also deeply moved by the courage of those who admittedly did not know much about Relationship Coaching but were open to the idea of a new way for us to learn and share with one another. The mastermind groups I’ve put together will cover most areas of relationships: Business, Family, Romance, & Interpersonal.
If we can gather ourselves at the table, the conversations will flow, and healing can begin on all levels.
