When loss, change, or heartbreak shakes your foundation, remember who you are — Chosen, Refined, and Appointed to Rise
There comes a moment in every life when this truth becomes impossible to ignore:
No one escapes the fire… but the fire is never the whole story.
I learned this in the ashes of my own journey—through loss, rebuilding, caregiving, heartbreak, burnout, and the unexpected callings that found me when I did not feel ready.
If you’re here, it’s because something in you is stirring.
A quiet rise.
A holy nudge.
A belief—fragile or fierce—that there is more ahead than what’s behind.
Welcome to The Becoming Project — a space for anyone navigating ashes, rebuilding hope, and discovering who they are becoming.
Why I Created This Space
My life is a tapestry of many callings:
- REALTOR®
- AirB&B host
- Author of three transformational books
- Philanthropist
- On the Board of Directors with Habitat for Humanity
- Regional Engagement Advisor with World Vision Canada
Different hats.
One heartbeat:
People. Purpose. Hope.
Everything I do — in homes, hospitality, storytelling, global outreach — is rooted in a deep calling to uplift, encourage, and help others rise.
And this blog is an extension of that calling.
What You Can Expect Here
This is a journey — yours and mine — toward becoming the people we were created to be.
In this space, you’ll find:
- Stories that heal (Beauty for Ashes – Refined in the Fire)
- Reflections that strengthen (Rising from the Ashes – The Healing Power of Becoming)
- Teachings that awaken your calling (For Such a Time as This – Appointed to Rise)
- Faith-filled encouragement for weary hearts

Whether you’re grieving, rebuilding, searching, climbing, or simply trying to stay afloat — these words are for you.
My Promise to You
Every post will give you something real:
a truth, a tool, a spark, a shift, a hope.
I promise to show up with honesty.
With faith.
With the lessons the fire taught me.
With the courage I found in places like Venice, Quebec, and New Orleans.
With the wisdom learned from caregiving, advocating, rebuilding, and choosing joy in dark seasons.
I want you to leave each post feeling:
- seen
- strengthened
- understood
- empowered
- equipped
- less alone
- and more you than before
Because friend… you were appointed to rise.
Rebuild.
Become.
This is your time.
You Are Invited
So take a deep breath.
Settle in.
You are safe here.
You are welcome here.
You are becoming here.
This is your reminder — not from me, but from the One who crafted your story:
You were born for such a time as this.
You are appointed.
You are anointed.
You are becoming.
Let the journey begin.
