This is me
Since publishing my first book in June, I’ve met so many new people. I would like to take the time to tell you a little about myself. I’m not your average girl and definitely not your average Pastors Wife but if I were, what fun would that be? I didn’t get where I am today without heartache and sacrifice. So, I am going to tell you a few of my favorite things. Some of the things that have distracted me from pain along the way.
Endless Love!
I started dating my husband when I was 16 years old and decided I didn’t want to know what life would be like without him so, when he asked… I said “yes!” The Cheesecake Factory was always our place when we were dating but every now and then, I talk him into the Olive Garden
I have been a Georgia Peach my entire life and plan to stay that way! I love orchestra and symphonies of string, especially the electric violin! I love the spa and anything involving relaxation!
My heart!
I am a proud boy mom who carries tide pens in every bag and knows how to switch from heels to tennis shoes without missing a beat!
Family is the most important thing in my life! We Pastor Faith Tabernacle United Pentecostal Church in Conyers, GA. It is a growing and diverse Church both generationally and culturally that is rich in its heritage.
Flowers
My favorite flower is a hydrangea, although sunflowers have a special place in my heart. There is nothing quite as beautiful as fresh flowers to illuminate a room.
Anthropologie Volcano candles are my favorite but I do love Fall Scented candles as well. My favorite color is pink! I love to wear black and accessorize! Although, my husband loves me to wear white so I indulge every now and then. I am a loyal Coco Chanel Perfume girl! I love to travel and take pictures! My favorite travel spot currently is anywhere a Cruise ship will take me!
Coffee
Coffee speaks to me in a way that instantly brings calm and happiness to my mood!
I have a deep unrelenting relationship with chocolate! There are times I skip dinner and go straight to dessert!
Notes
Handwriting will never go out of style! I sending cards and I love to receive them. I love tiny notes left from my husband and he knows better than anyone that I love to leave a card in random places at unexpected times!
Writing has always been an escape for me. I first started writing when I was younger and spent hours alone at home. I would make up stories and usually talk them out. As I got older, I found it better to write my feelings down. I love to express myself through writing and hopefully speaking into someone else’s life.
Books
I love the way a book smells. I love the history behind its journey. I love the adventure tucked away on its pages. I love the escape it provides a hurting soul. Books are the gateway to my imagination. As a young girl, I loved all the fairytales and stories of an honest country girl becoming a Queen. It gave me hope that I could be more. Books are why I love to write and dream!
Last but not least is me, because if I don’t make the list as one of my favorite things, I can’t enjoy the things that did. I have learned over the past year to love myself, embrace my flaws and grow in grace. I’m not anywhere close to perfect. I say things when I should be silent and I get frustrated because I’m human. My pain is as real as yours and I believe that we can all extend each other a measure of grace as we walk through this life.
This is me…
I have dreams, I have goals and I have a bucket list a mile high! However, if I can’t positively influence a few lives along the way then what am I doing. We have to learn as we grow to let the bad roll off our shoulders just like the water rolls off a duck. Someone very wise told me that when I decided to put my life on display and it is a principal that I apply on a daily basis.
Love BIG, Your friend,
Denisha
