Thank
You for visiting this page!
Essentially,this is where you get to know me. I am a Professional
Certified Life Coach, Speaker and Author. It was not my
dream to be either one and that one fact makes my journey
all the more interesting.
I was born in a small coal mining town called Docena in
Jefferson County, Alabama. I was not born in a hospital, but
in the house I called home on 3rd Street. I checked recently
and there are approximately 638 people living there now. There
were probably not that many more when I lived there. I knew
everyone and they knew me. Docena is on the map now, but you
will still need to stop for directions. I owe a lot to Alabama
because it helped to keep me strong!
Alabama prepared me educationally with the
exception of my Master of Science degree from The University
of Tennessee. I currently live in Harvest, Alabama, a county
area near what is better known as Huntsville-The Rocket
City. I began my professional career with Ford Motor Company
which is where I learned to never assume anything!
I now call such experiences, Wisdom Episodes.
My life however after Ford began to take several unexpected
turns, none for which I felt adequately prepared to address.
There were three experiences that afforded me perspective
into the foundation of my eventual journey. Because of the
experiences, I now honor the voice that directs my writing,Coaching
and speaking.
The
first experience was
watching my MaDear's long suffering from the
grave
effects of multiple myloma cancer. She died
on February 28,1981.
My
MaDear, Mrs. Carrie Bell Clisby
She was my rock when
I didn't know I needed one.
The
second experience was the tragic death of my husband,
Captain Robert King in 1985. He and 247 other young soldiers died
in the name of peace.
The third experience was a life threatening illness
in 1992 that left me with a new found respect for life and
all its opportunities!
All
three events forced me to address change in a profound way
and each one required I rethink my calling and purpose in
life.
My new course in life included writing The
Get Me Thru Collection® and
The Voice of
My Boundaries.
They have become a part of the most rewarding gift from my journey.
I learned how to 'ignite the power of inspiration' through them.
My purpose in life is now clear because of them, thanks to
the voice that gave them to me...
Finally,
let me say, my dearest accomplishments include being the mother
of Sterling, my only child, being an adult Sunday School Teacher
and being a friend to a few very special people. My prayer
is that you take the opportunity to gain from the voice of
my boundaries...
Meet
Lexus, my precious dog
and friend.
