My story matters because I have been a caregiver most of my life. First, to my husband. 3 years after we were married, he had open heart surgery. 7 years later, I took care of him after a cancer diagnosis and several surgeries, chemo that almost killed him.. until he passed away, 3 years later. I would do it all over again, 10X! I was the primary care giver for my momma, before she passed in 2021. She had dementia and was my everything. Covid took a full year with her away from me. I lost her in November of 2021. I lost my house 14 months after buying it, to Hurricane Milton. Relocated to Orlando. Then, a few months after I received my FEMA money, I was the victim of fraud. Lost $25K.. Who cares for me? I do. Caregivers rarely have people that care for them. It’s not a bad thing, it’s who we are. We must be in charge.. we are caregivers… So, unless a caregiver falls ill, they rarely ask for help or to be cared for. If you know a caregiver, love on them. It’s one of the most difficult jobs, for very little pay. What we get is a peaceful heart knowing we are taking care of our loved ones. Most caregivers are strong and refuse the help, but desperately want it. AND need it. I’ve been taking care of myself for 11 years now. I wonder sometimes if my heart is hardened from not having anyone in my life to lean on, or someone that will give care to me. It’s been so long, I just resolved it’s not going to happen. So, I take care of me, just like I take care of everyone around me. I have learned to love myself better than anyone else can. But I still long to be loved, held, seen, cared for…

I would love for you to join me, over the next 10 weeks - as we take a deep dive into the Book of Esther. If you've studied this book before, please join us, if this is new to you, hey, me too, join us! We can learn from each other and grow in our faith - together. Trusting what God is speaking to our hearts so we can flourish into the beautiful women God created us to be. When we ALIGN with His purpose, through FAITH - we will FLOURISH. Join me - 7pm ET tonight Topic: Book of Esther - Meet Up Time: Feb 6, 2026 06:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82264857518?pwd=yiFMgnAi0eTM9pgGKZqcJM7IQa8Pyg.1 See you there!

Tonight, I felt led to start another meet up. But this one will be one where we allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Share the loss, love, lessons, how we overcame or are working on ways to help us move forward in our path. Align with purpose, walk in Faith together and Flourish into the beautiful woman God created us to be. I am considering it to be a bible study on the book of Esther. Esther, a Jewish woman who would learn that God's plans can include risk - and opportunity to show courage. Obeying God's command, even though she could face death. She didn't wait for weeks or months trying to discern God's will for her life before she acted. She simply did what was right and forged ahead without any special word from God. I feel sometimes this is me. Waiting for some grand gesture.. but then, I remember, He walks with us. There are no grand gestures. We simply walk by faith, and trust that no matter what adversity comes our way, HE will always be right there. Guiding our steps. Lighting the way. Faith - Trusting in NOT what we see, but in what we DO NOT see. This will be a weekly call. Friday's is what I am thinking - 6pm ET.. If you're interested in joining - drop your favorite GIF!
