One Year Later

June 5, 2026 One Year Later… est. June 5, 2025

One year ago, I became a published author.

Publishing Anchored in Faith: Leading with Purpose, Living with Intention was one of the most meaningful accomplishments of my life. What started as an idea, a calling, and a step of faith became a reality that continues to inspire and encourage others today.

This book was written to remind people that purpose is not reserved for perfect seasons. Faith is not just for the mountaintops. It is often built and strengthened in the moments when we are challenged to trust God the most.

As I reflect on this one-year anniversary, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who purchased the book, shared it with others, attended my event, sent messages of encouragement, and supported this journey. Your love and support mean more than you know.

Most importantly, I thank God. He gave me the vision, the courage to move forward, and the perseverance to finish what He placed in my heart.

If there is one lesson I hope readers take away, it is this: life does not stop because you’re facing challenges. You can be going through a divorce. Your family can be facing heavy and frightening health issues. You can be carrying burdens that no one else sees—and still continue to live, grow, dream, and pursue your purpose.

Trust that God has planted seeds in your life. Continue to water them with faith, obedience, and perseverance. In His timing, He will allow them to grow.

Stay anchored. Stay faithful. Stay encouraged.

With gratitude,
