There are so many labels with names. My name is a combination of my grandmothers and great grandmother. As a namesake there were pressures to be just what my family wanted me to be. Letting go of those images in my head was harder than I realized. A life lesson taught me that self acceptance is more important than acceptance from others. 

My grandmother Imogene decided to let go and make her journey to heaven in 2015. She was ninety years old and had grown tired of the world.  She taught me a variety of things including her famous recipes...(pineapple cheese pie). I spent a large amount of time listening to the stories about WWII and big band radio. Daily she lived her mantra, “You make your life”.  She would say “you cant just talk about it , you gotta do it!” She loved me unconditionally and was always there for me. I miss her so much and it gives me comfort to say it aloud hoping her spirit hears me.  

We're all designing our lives in our vision. Choices and actions create our destiny. 

My vision for my family is to be surrounded by people we love. Feeling comforted when things seem tough and having faith that it too shall pass. Sharing joy and love together through new experiences. I want to create a space for learning and growing, so I better plant those good seeds. 

I have passion and purpose and l listen to my own gut and trust my instincts. I set no limits to what I can do. My bliss is music and movement. Both give me LIFE! 

Thankful for this creative outlet.
