The little girl continued to look into the mirror and so did the woman, each of them seeing a stranger in the mirror. It was like the magic mirrors at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. Continuing to look into the mirror, the little girl and the woman finally realized that they were not strangers at all.
The scared little girl dressed in raggedy clothes and the woman dressed in the United States Army dress uniform were one and the same.
Excerpt…
“What was the quality that allowed me to transition into a woman filled with poise and confidence and able to pursue my passion and purpose,” I wondered.
Then I remembered. Ah hah, I thought as I snapped my fingers. It was my motivation and determination to succeed and both required me to have lots and lots of physical and moral C.O.U.R.A.G.E.
Excerpt…
As I continue to evolve into your next best you, I will pursue my passions with love and unwavering purpose. I will never discredit myself or quit on myself. Instead, I will excitedly cheer for my number one fan, me. Afterall, if I can do something good, I can do something better than I have ever imagined. Positive results matter to me because I know that the best things come to those who wait.
So, whenever I look at my smiling reflection in the mirror, I gather my strength, determination, and confidence, then repeat to myself, if the next person can accomplish their dreams, goals, and ambitions, S.O. 🔥 C.A.N. 🔥 Y.O.U.

Witnessing my revival as a single parent and military professional, inspired by my trust in God, proving that faith and resilience can redefine the possible. As I recalled my “Stories of HIS Glory,” I reflected on those pivotal moments God spared my life.
