The Power of Serving Well — and Growing With Intention

Nov 23, 2025
Connect

This week reminded me of something beautiful: when you live a life of service, your impact reaches further than you can ever see.

I had the honor of moderating my Aunt Dieuzina’s 75th birthday celebration, and it was more than a party — it was a testimony.

Person after person stood up, crying as they shared stories of how she took them in when they had nowhere to go, fed them, encouraged them, watched their children, helped them financially, and loved them deeply.

It moved me. It reminded me that real success is measured in the lives we touch, not the titles we hold.

And it inspired me to continue serving this community — but at a higher level. With more intention. More compassion. More impact.

We also had a big family reunion — people traveling from all over just to celebrate her life. I’ve added a photo of me and my family below. Moments like this keep me grounded, grateful, and committed to building something meaningful.


Personal & Business Highlights

This has been a full week personally and professionally:

  • Celebrated my aunt’s 75th birthday surrounded by our entire family

  • Moderated her celebration and walked away inspired by her legacy of love

  • Connected with relatives who traveled from everywhere — a true family reunion

  • Delivered our Free Live Masterclass on Friday, and the feedback was overwhelming

  • Many shared how thankful they were for the clarity, direction, and real value they received

  • Supporting new and existing clients through the licensing process, zoning, and AHCA preparation

For those who registered but missed the masterclass, the replay will be emailed so you don’t miss out.


Free Live Masterclass — Continues This Friday, November 28

Due to popular demand and the powerful response from attendees, we are continuing the masterclass series this Friday.

This Week on the Podcast 🎙️

We had an important and eye-opening conversation with Sharon Reich (Senior Trust Advisor with AGED Trust)

With 30+ years in the trust industry, she helps seniors and individuals with disabilities protect their assets and access essential care.

Sharon breaks down how Special Needs Trusts and Dual Eligible Medicare Plans can lower costs, ensure stability, and improve quality of life for ALF residents and their families.

Takeaway for the Week

Impact starts at home — in the people you love, the lives you touch, the kindness you give, and the way you show up daily.

You don’t have to do something big to matter.
Small acts of service build legacies.
Consistency builds influence.
Love builds trust.

Keep serving.
Keep showing up.
And keep growing into who God designed you to be.

They allow you to serve more people, at a higher level, without losi...
