YOUR LIFE MATTERS no matter WHAT YOU’VE HEARD…..

In 1992, I moved to America from Mexico and started a new life with my family in Sacramento as an immigrant who didn’t know English or how to be “American” or how to be “Mexican.” I felt displaced and didn’t ever feel a sense of belonging. Uprooted from my country, my language and the familiarities of Mexico thrust me into the land of DREAMS and FREEDOM. But that was far from what I experienced on the road to becoming the woman I am now. My journey was paved with childhood abuse, living in fear of being deported, and not understanding how to cope with all the trauma I had endured. Still, being in America made me feel hope that many of my dreams of being an actress would someday come true as soon as I moved to Los Angeles, California!

In 2005, I left Los Angeles broken-hearted after being raped for the second time in my life, vowing to never follow my dreams again.....

In 2008, I married a man who showed me what it's like to be loved by someone who loves God FIRST... My life changed after I met Doug, I realized HE HAD someone I desperately needed, JESUS. My husband showed me relational hope as he extended peace, forgiveness, grace, and love through our relationship. Doug led me to open up my eyes to faith! Thank you for that, my love!

In 2010, we had our first daughter. This single event changed my life. I knew I didn't want her to walk like me, a victim of abuse lashing out and struggling with self-hatred, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I knew I didn't want my legacy to be one of fear and shame.

So I committed myself to healing.

In 2013, I got pregnant with my second daughter. She was the answer to our prayers to expand our family, and I was in love once again! However, feeling the weight of being responsible for a precious life and being in the throes of healing from being raped at 6 years old, I fell into the most desperate state of my life. I was broken and hopeless so I chose to do something I had never done before.

I dedicated my life to Jesus and I opened my bible! I decided to give faith and hope a shot. I surrendered my dreams of becoming an actress to God. within two weeks, I got a phone call to be the lead actor in an independent film Splashed.

God helped me believe he had made me with purpose and I felt excitement like never before. The God of the universe made me on purpose? Wow! It changed my life, I felt purpose I had never felt and hope again! I wanted to tell everybody they too had a purpose!

I devoted myself to healing from trauma and when I saw that God had held me through one of the scariest and most intense years of my life (for which I wrote my first book and memoir, Through The Wilderness); I decided to tell my story to anyone who would hear! The story that Jesus is indeed the most miraculous, healing, and steadfast love upon which my feet could stand. And that they too would find #freedom in his love.

On Jan 27, 2015, I started my blog in hopes that God could use my brokenness to help others and myself through writing and being creatively artistic once again! I had a different dream. One that had less of me and more of Christ and includes YOU!
