Who She Is?

Raised in the deep South pine forests in an antebellum home, the youngest of three children. In a blissfully happy marriage, surviving a blended family for six and a half years, she is DH's wife, one young bride's stepmom, one red headed stepson's biggest fan, one teenage son's tormentor, and one tween's homeschooling teacher. When she's not being his wife and their mom, she's working to help people and businesses reach their goals!

A Creative Marketing Strategist for speakers, authors & small businesses and an Educational Consultant, she is known for her out of the box successful sales and product marketing. She develops strategic success plans for her clients who are speakers, authors, and businesses and very often participates in their achieving them as well! Sweetie owns her own business, works virtually, on location and from home and is an Advocate for the needs of Step and Blended families. There's rarely a dull moment in her life.

Sweetie taught for over twenty three years in the public school systems, colleges, and as an educational consultant in Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana and Alaska. Named a Master level teacher in four states, she loves to work with faculties and young teachers to share her passion for teaching. She has been a graduate staff member at the University of Arkansas, named a cohort at several other universities in the field of Gifted Education, Behavior Disordered Education, Learning, Mathematics for Middle Schoolers, teaching and assessing children with learning disabilities, and holds a PK-12 certification in six subject areas in over five states.

She has won two cars from Mary Kay and one from a radio station drawing one fourth of July...and she won those MK cars long before she figured out lipsticks could be alphabetized....almost 920 tubes later it occured to her something had to give and she figured out systems to simplify finding her inventory! She is known for her high energy and creative out of the box marketing for all kinds of products. Developing strong systems for diverse arenas from authors to national advertising campaigns....known almost as well for keeping multiple projects going on at once and laughing her way through as she faces the challenge of all of them. Marketing, communications, training, facilitating and helping others reach their goals and potential is a true joy to her.

Sweetie loves to work with children of all ages, their teachers, parents and district staffs. Whether it be a homeschooling group, public school group, church group or individuals in need of assistance, if there's a solution to a learning or behavior issue, Sweetie will help find it. While an adept multi tasker, Sweetie can't keep all the plates spinning without juggling to keep her life balanced.

The most likely victim of her over busy schedule weekly is the ever growing Mt. Washmore or its companion tourist site the Dirty Dishes Mountain Chain, located in her raspberry pink kitchen. When she's not in the office or homeschooling, you can find Sweetie and her DH together bumming around, the Botanical Gardens in Huntsville, or out shopping for great bargains. She's known to joyfully squeal when a good bargain is found and while highly organized, she has absolutely.no.sense.of.direction. Directionally driving every where she goes, often calling friends to "find her" and tell her how to get where she's going even though she has a Tom Tom in the car.

Sweetie does not claim to know any of life's answers, but is always working on the ones for her own life. Happily remarried with children, God has indeed blessed and restored her very broken heart into a new life. Her goal as a Christian is transparency, praying that if she allows you to see her without a mask of perfection.... we can all trust God and each other enough to be who we are and strive to become who God has made us to be!



She's So There....where ever THERE is....she'll find it yet!

God is God...and He loves you!
