I was born in Hanford, California to my 2nd generation American (Portuguese) father and my true blue Missourian mother. We may have become a broken family, but I still remember my loving Grandma Ferraiz and how safe my grandpa made me feel. While I’ve not had my father’s side of the family in my life as much as I would’ve liked, they are dear to my heart.
My mother, two older brothers, and I lived in Florida for a couple of years before settling down in familiar Southwest Missouri. My mother’s family had been based here for many generations and the country life was soothing. I participated in pre-teen/teen pageants and found my joy in choir and church. I eventually met my high school sweetheart, got married, and had two daughters. After graduating college, I homeschooled my girls, taught others, occasionally worked and performed, and serve my city.
Why do this?
- While my book “Fortress of the Heart” is it’s own complete work, I get other insights and inspirations that I would like to share with my audience.
- My hope is to build a library of encouragements to be of help to others.
My writing will always be an important part of what I do, but I know motivational speaking is also an avenue that is a calling. I do not doubt the Lord has many things in store for my future. That being said, keep checking back, or connect via my website for Facebook page.
