Beauty from Ashes™
I had been on the straight & narrow......feeling betrayed by people I trusted; I embraced unforgiveness & turned to rebellion. I started looking for love & purpose in all the wrong places & became an over achiever. I ran from God in pursuit of my own self preservation & satisfaction. 'I was woman hear me roar!' On the outside I looked like the 'ultimate good time girl in control of her destiny' - on the inside I was a broken, lost, wounded & hurting woman simply wanting to be loved.
For 10 years my life slowly spiraled out of control - all the while I desperately attempted to be in control of it. I tried almost everything imaginable in order to try & fill the void I had in my life. My creativity almost completely disappeared. 'My way' simply would not work.
Divorced, suicidal, addicted to drugs & unhealthy relationships....knowing down deep that there was a better plan for my life, tired & desperate for something REAL & TRUE........I asked God to reveal Himself & rescue me.
He did & He filled that void once & for all. I finally experienced TRUE LOVE in a relationship & that LOVE made the difference I was looking for. He helped me to change my whole life around....for the better. I would not be where I am and/or experienced the success I have with my art career & dreams coming true - had it not been for His faithfulness to me...even when I was unfaithful, He was always faithful. My life is a demonstration of how God can take ashes & turn them into something useful & beautiful. It finally has purpose.
I'm the founder & CEO of a not for profit, 501(c)3, public charity that reaches out & helps people in and from the ADULT ENTERTAINMENT industry. Beauty from Ashes™ Ministries, Inc. From my experience in the biz (7 years/while in college & after - I didn't start exotic dancing until I was 31 & became an active consumer of porn @ the age of 19) I know first hand the sense of hopelessness & wounding that the industry brings to its performers & customers...that's not to mention the wounds entertainers bring with them before they ever enter the industry. My passion now is to provide a support system that offers unconditional love, hope, healing & encouragement to those in the industry & to those who are influenced by it. We help to make a difference in the lives of people that desire a change of lifestyle.
I'm married to a wonderful man of integrity & character, Steve. He loves the Lord & is a heavenly gift that I received after I got back on the straight & narrow. Amazing enough, the straight & narrow has provided more freedom to me than I ever received on the wide highway to self satisfaction.
My creativity has now expanded to new horizons. I still do oil painting, drawing & ceramics - now they are commissions and I teach art lessons to children & adults. I paint murals and create room & area make overs with decorative & faux painting. My art work has been accepted & viewed in galleries across the United States & internationally. My husband & I have accepted the offer to go to Israel & paint a mural inside the chapel of a trauma center currently being built....all expenses paid. I'm finally living out my 35+ year dream of being a professional artist.
We are ALL creative beings....BECAUSE we ALL are created in the image of God.
'In the beginning God created..... So God created people in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them. ' Genesis 1:1 & 27 NLT
