My story is not just about survival; it’s a beacon of hope and a blueprint for turning tragedy into purpose. By sharing these moments and insights, I hope to inspire you to look at your challenges through a new lens, one that sees beyond the immediate pain and towards the infinite potential for growth, fulfillment and renewed faith and hope.
On April 13, 2021, I woke up with a word, just ONE word ringing loud in my mind! UNDERBELLY! I’m like UNDERBELLY?? Your probably thinking the same as I did. THAT’S ODD!
Today I am going to share what UNDERBELLY means and why it is so important to protect it, and offer my strategy for how you can protect it.
HOW DO I FIGHT STRESS IN MY LIFE? Honestly for way too long… NOT VERY WELL. But there is a principle that my father In law shared with me a long time ago, that has really helped me and I’m hoping it will help you.
Have you ever thought about all the events that led up to this moment in your life? Like all the people or things that have shaped who you are? Or why you’re here? Well when people have asked me about my trip to Thailand in 2022, I actually said, if there was ever a reason or a purpose for my life, it was amplified and affirmed in Thailand. I know that is a bold statement to make, but all the people and all the events in my life up to this point, “have” indeed shaped me and positioned me to be where I am today. That is why I say this trip was more than just an adventure, it was life changing.
WHAT’S STOPPING YOU? That was my father in laws response to me when I told him what I wanted for my life. And I will be honest, I’ve never been more annoyed yet more intrigued by someone as I was in that moment. So, at the risk of doing the same to you, I’ll ask you…
WHAT’S STOPPING YOU?
I think it’s a great question to ask yourself as you step into 2023.

What things need to change inorder for there to be change? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO BE THE CHANGE? THAT’S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION, ONE THAT I HAVE WRESSTLED WITH FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
And in todays Vlog, I will be sharing some of the things I wish to see change, but more importantly I’ll share some things I have changed in me, to help change some things I wish to see change.
What change are you hoping to see?
“IF ONLY I KNEW WHEN THE LAST TIME WAS GOING TO BE THE LAST TIME…….
I would have put off all the things I had to do.” A very powerful lyric from the Casting Crowns song, Scars In Heaven.
Hearing this song, in light of hearing the news of my dear friend Dr. Garry E. Milley, who passed away in his sleep this past week, was what inspired me to write this blog for you today. Dr. Milley was my professor, a mentor, and dear friend, and I pray you are encouraged, as I share some golden nuggets from our interview, that I always PLANNED on sharing.
