Hi everyone,
Today, I want to give you a glimpse into our journey as a couple—two people who couldn’t be more different, yet somehow fit together like two puzzle pieces designed for one another.
My husband is calm, centered, and emotionally steady—what he calls “level zero.” I, on the other hand, am animated and full of energy. He’s the quiet force, and I’m the whirlwind. He once told me he intentionally stays at “zero” because he’s afraid of who he might be at “level ten.” In nearly three decades together, I’ve only seen him truly lose his temper twice—both times, he was hungry! That’s the kind of peace he brings into our lives.

He’s also the most generous soul I’ve ever known. No matter where we are, if he sees someone in need, he moves into action. I remember years ago, just after we were saved, we saw a pregnant couple walking under the blazing sun. Without hesitation, he turned the car around to offer them a ride. I was so shy back then—I turned red from head to toe! Just yesterday, he noticed someone left their phone at the post office. Without skipping a beat, he found the owner and returned it. He always says he’s going to stop helping people—but his heart just won’t let him.
We’re opposites in more ways than one. I’m always singing, dancing, lighting up the room with my voice and movement. He’s grounded, focused, and serious about work. And while I tend to forgive easily and keep people close, he forgives from afar. Once trust is broken, he cuts ties—quietly, firmly. That’s his Scorpio side showing up strong.
And yet, despite our differences, we’ve worked side by side for 27 years—nearly every day, every hour. Where most couples might feel smothered, we’ve built a rhythm that works for us. Even when he comes home from work at 1:30 in the morning, he calls to ask if I’m hungry, if I need anything. And I always wait up. I can’t sleep until I know he’s home safe.
One of the things I treasure most is that we share the same values around work and life. We come from humble beginnings—both from families with little means—and we were the first in our families to graduate college. We built everything from the ground up. We know that real success comes from staying flexible, learning constantly, and creating multiple income streams. That’s the mindset that got us here.
As parents, we’ve always tried to be fair. If one child gets a $15 gift, the other does too. We’ve seen too many families fall apart over money after the parents are gone, so we’ve made a decision: we’re dividing our assets while we’re still alive to avoid any future conflict. Peace in the family is priceless.
I often tell people that I want to leave this world before he does, because I honestly don’t know how I would live without him. We’re that connected. We do everything together, share everything. The thought of being apart is heartbreaking—for both of us. We even joked with our kids that we’d go together, like in The Notebook. And honestly, that wouldn’t be the worst way to go.
I’m not big on social media. I don’t need strangers’ opinions clouding my peace. I prefer to keep my circle filled with positive, purpose-driven people. When I do share, it’s always my truth—knowing people will hear it through their own lens, like a game of telephone. But I share anyway, because honesty matters.
Before I close, let me say this: if you haven’t started learning about AI, do it now. I don’t care if you’re 40, 50, or 60—start. AI is going to reshape the world in ways we’ve never seen. From productivity to creativity, the tools are endless—website building, video editing, audiobook creation. Don’t wait. Stay ahead, or risk falling behind.
And to all of you who have supported us over the past nine years—thank you. Through God’s grace and your love, we’ve made it through seasons where so many businesses couldn’t. We see you, we appreciate you, and we don’t take any of it for granted.
With love and deep gratitude,
Us. Always.
