Hi there, I’m Debra.

Author, Motivator, Encourager, and Your Dose of Inspiration.

In a world of uncertainty, most of us are feeling scared

We’ve been asked to adjust and make the best out of a bad situation without real tools to make it work. I have learned how to keep a positive attitude even when the reality of the situation says something different.

My Story

As a child, I have always had a positive outlook on life. I have always been a very friendly and outgoing person and I always made friends easily. 

I knew I had a gift to make others feel comfortable talking to me and sharing their most personal feelings about themselves and their situations.

However, I lacked the confidence I needed to take my gift to the next level but I haven’t always been brave enough to venture too far away from my safety net of familial people and places. 

What I didn’t know then, was that I had a power inside of me all along. I allowed fear of having a visual disability hold me back from pursuing my real passion of writing and teaching.

Although, I exuded confidence on the outside, inside, I was afraid that people might not take me or my work seriously because of my limitations. 

After many years of living, I now realize that we are all limited in some way or another and we need each other to be successful.

We Desire to Escape From the Weight of Fears, Negativity, and Opinions but Need to Tap Into Our Own Bright Side to Lift Us up Even in the Worst Of Times.

I have learned how to keep a positive attitude even when the reality of the situation says something different. What we all desire is a way to stay encouraged, motivated and lifted even in the worst of times as we prepare for our next steps.
