~Reality to Rags to Riches~

~Reality to Rags to Riches~

No alt text provided for this image

Life has taken me on a journey which took three major turns, each leading to a road of exploration and discovery; each crafting me into the person who would become skillful at using life’s compass in navigating new directions and negotiating what’s best for me:

REALITY is a place that forced me to face life early on "as is." The seeds planted during that period are directly responsible for my growth. All of my core values were established. No matter how far I strayed, the experiences throughout that time, prepared me for Rags and Riches.

RAGS taught me humility, agility and possibility. I learned to be grateful when I am served, but more importantly, to be willing to serve others. The events during this period instilled fearless faith that grounded me and prepared me for true Riches.

RICHES is not about what. It’s about who. For me that means family, friends and moments. They are true riches which are irreplaceable.  If I can replace it, it is not a true treasure.
