I created this blog as a way to share my experiences as a mother, an athlete, and woman of faith. I am an Army Veteran (served active duty), former law enforcement professional (both sworn and non-sworn), owner of True Arc Welding Services, LLC, and real estate investor. I have earned a bachelor’s degree in design studies, master’s degree in accounting, a Certification in Motherhood Studies, and several more.

I am the mother of one stepdaughter and three daughters:

And our family is not complete without our brown tabby cat, Brodie, and our two French Bulldogs, Kash and Khloe.
