I’m Michele and I’m glad you’re here! Let me tell you a little about myself. I live in the beautiful hills of East Tennessee with my amazing country-boy husband. I adore him. I really do. My 2 sons and their families are my very heartbeat, and my treasures. I love hearing the name “Mimi”. It means I get to cuddle and snuggle and giggle with my granddaughter. She makes me constantly aware that I am leaving a legacy. I love music and singing, travel and exploration, fireflies on a summer evening, and a crackling fire on a cold morning–the little things that make life full of wonder. And laughing. I love laughing–especially at myself. I love sparkle and I believe in leaving a little of it everywhere I go. I have a story. I want to be real with you by sharing glimpses into my past, and my own personal experience with marital abuse by a church minister for 30 years. But the story does not end there. Through the power of God, I’ve been transformed from victim to victor. I have a new life now, and I want to empower women to overcome obstacles through the amazing grace, unconditional love, and incredible healing power of Jesus. And to know it’s ok to laugh–even in the darkness. Perhaps my journey can help inspire you to embrace all the joys God has in store for you.
