In Evolving to Grace: A story of perseverance, strength, spiritual evolution, and the choices one must make to change one’s path, I share my life’s experiences, my journey - finding my way out of darkness - discovering hope, positivity, strength, happiness and the right path for the life I choose to live. I write so that people understand me better; learn from many challenges I've had to face and overcome - either due to alcoholism, depression, violence and rape and lastly, I write to inspire others to never give up.
Life can be a roller-coaster ride for some more than others. Mine has been this way. Born into generations of educated, privileged, and successful millionaires, I tell a story of how one generation’s downfall due to financial, emotional, and addiction problems had crippling, traumatic effects on everyone around them, including myself.
This story is about my journey of how I was going to fight with every fiber of my being, so that I would not follow in the footsteps of others. From very dark times as a teenager where I believed suicide was the only option to later entertaining times in my early 20’s living in the City of Angels, hobnobbing with professional athletes and entertainers.
I could be labeled many things: illegal, ACOA (Adult Child of an Alcoholic), domestic violence survivor, excessive alcohol and drug user, rape victim, assault victim, hitchhiker, high school dropout, call girl, and single mother on welfare. But, these are just situations I ended up in when I was lost and broken. I am trying to better myself, changing my ways and learning from my past. I am forever evolving to find my grace in this beautiful thing we call life.
I'm passionate about kindness, growing and learning from past mistakes or questioning why I feel about this or do that.
I'm an artist—photographer, writer and single mum.
I am committed to helping people and offering guidance when needed.
