My Story
Welcome To My Story
… And read how I found out that “Anything is Possible.”
In 2008 I went through a separation, lost my home to for-closure, my car was repossessed and I lost my Dad at the age of 56. I moved to a small home in Belleville, IL with my then 2-year-old daughter. This was yet another setback. I had already come so far from my childhood. My Mom left me and my 3 siblings when I was 7. My Dad, who had Alports Syndrome and dialyzed 3 times a week, raised us. He wasn’t able to work so we lived on food stamps and welfare until he began receiving social security. We were very poor.
I was a single mom working at a Cancer Treatment Center. I made mediocre money. $35k a year was decent I thought. I left there after 10 years and took a job for another Hospital paying $44k a year. I was happy with the income but I was missing out on my daughter’s life.
I wanted that time and freedom everyone was talking about!
I met my husband in 2011 and we married in 2014. In 2015 I decided that I was going to do everything in my power to live a life worth living. I wanted to make my own schedule. I didn’t want those moody bosses telling me I couldn’t grab a cup of coffee, or acting excited about a 3% raise and 2 weeks of vacation a year.
