“HARDSHIPS OFTEN PREPARE ORDINARY PEOPLE FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY DESTINY”

- C.S. Lewis

Hi! I’m Destiny

Or should I say…I am YOUR Destiny?? (ha! I have heard that line my entire life)… but actually, No, YOU are YOUR Destiny… I will trust fate brought you here…. and so happy it did! 

So, let me start by telling you about... 

MY DESTINY

My parents named me ‘Destiny’ after the song, ONLY YOU by The Platters. I learned early on the power of the word and as I have lived my life, it has taken on a deeper meaning and understanding.  

My life has turned me upside down, sideways and inside out in ways I never saw coming. I have risen, fallen, stumbled and gotten back up (not always in that order ha!).. I have been through major life changes a.k.a spiritual awakenings, divorce, relationship endings, shattered dreams, job loss, bankruptcy, career changes, childhood sexual abuse, (and those are just the highlights), but nothing brought me to my knees as that of the tragic and profound loss of my brother, Joseph. That alone took me into a dark night of my soul of deep despair, sorrow, pain and heartache I have never known. If I am being honest, It still hurts like hell and a daily struggle to deal with.

Yet, I have found ways to incorporate my grief and pain into my life to serve a greater purpose and move ahead...not on...with faith he is with me every step of the way! (By the way, you can read more about my brother by visiting his legacy page here….)

Speaking of my brother, we both moved to Los Angeles for music. I have sang my entire life and it was my dream to be a "famous singer"!  While I pursued my music career, I had successful "day" jobs in various industries from executive positions in the music business, fashion and makeup artistry.

Throughout my life, there has always been on thing consistent... no matter what job or creative pursuit I have had...I have always been the one people have turned to for higher insight, advice, guidance, support and counsel.   "You should be a therapist!"  "You are psychic!",  or "You are the only one who I can tell this to".  I have heard these type of sentiments my entire life...but I ignored the calling because I didn't want to "let go" of my desire to sing.... I somehow believed it was one or the other. (hello, limiting beliefs)

Yet, in the midst of pursuing my "dreams", my life took so many twists and turns, it launched me further into a soul searching, soul seeking quest....and destiny. 

I still sing. (in fact, sing my brother's songs!), I still grieve. I still soul search. I still hope. I still try. I still fall. I still get back up and I will STILL continue on to fulfilling my DESTINY and helping others fulfill theirs!
