About Me

People say I'm:

I'm honest, down to earth and am proudly idealistic. I'm also a positive thinker and look at things and ask why not? I think out of the box and color outside of the lines.
Describe Yourself:

Hard working, energetic, passionate and compassionate. Goal oriented and self- directed. I hold professional certifications as both a Certified Fraud Examiner (they catch people cooking books) and (security manager, the highest available in the field often called The Gold Standard)) Certified Protection Professional. There aren't very many minority professionals with these certifications but I beileve in reaching for the sky and shooting for the moon. Both changed my life forever for the better. I passed the same exams that everyone else took. I remember thinking back before pursuing these certs asking why not me?

Hi Brian dear,
How are you?
Thank you so much for the ping, and your continued friendship, as I am not here much.
So much has been happening. My husband was in a hit and run accident. He was hurt, but alive, praise the Lord.
I have been struggling with my illness, but praying and living one day at a time.
How are you? How is your family?
God bless you, have a really great day like you are, M&M
