I founded 'Lovely is YOUR Story' because my life was far from lovely. My story felt like a tragedy or a horror story. However, I always believed life had to be more. This belief pushed me forward, not because my circumstances changed, but because I began encouraging others.

What started as daily inspirational messages to coworkers and to lift myself out of depression—like “Marvelous Monday” or “Thankful Thursday”—quickly grew into a newsletter that now inspires over 500 people.

My hope is that you leave here with the message: "YOU MATTER and What you have to offer this world also matters." I hope that you felt inspired to continue to dream, believe, but most importantly go after your destiny.

If you would like to take the next step, I would be honored to be your NEXT speaker!
