Marrying my prom date, we spent 30 years together. Having a family and enjoying a career in primarily Interior Design and Home Remodeling was my life. I absolutely loved developing the interior backdrops for homes where people are making memories. Creating beauty in their surroundings in order to evoke Peace brought me joy.
My Chapter Two in life came about after I left that relationship. When I met Brandon I felt blessed to find such a deeply aligned, True Love. We began building our new life together in a beautiful home filled with peaceful surroundings.
Until it wasn't. Until the most shocking day of my life happened.
My heart was shattered when I lost my beloved Brandon to suicide in February of 2024. All aspects of my world crumbled in an instant. I would never be the same person again. Sadly, this was only nine months after losing my 38 year old baby brother to an overdose. I knew Grief all too well. Now Trauma had joined in. And it was more than I could handle on my own - or ask of my family and friends. Shocked and devastated, and thankfully, I also simultaneously felt compelled to seek intense help healing. And fast.
I was now the one who needed to find peace. Not in my external environment, but rather in my soul.
Finding the TLW online, I attended their first ever retreat. A truly life-changing experience that left me overflowing with gratitude. Immediately, I felt a profound calling to become a part of this incredible mission. Now, I am honored and passionately driven to share this healing resource to all those who's lives have been forever altered by suicide.
Helping others find Healing, Hope and Peace. This is true fulfillment. This is My Journey now.
