Warning, not a Declaration: Stand your Ground, Don’t Look Back…
They call it closure, I call it commencement… Freedom is not freedom until one can survive once more, out there, alone, & knowing they are being watched by the past.
Do not reroute, take a detour! #MOI the author, I tell you: Stand your ground, don’t look back, your past is watching!
I invite you to step into my books, meet the characters, and walk through their lives. I am the author, I don’t speak; I write. I write to inspire, to heal, and to share the experiences that shaped me.
And if you ever read my books, remember: It’s a life, not a book. It’s a woman, not a character. It’s reality, not a story.
I am an Internationally Published Author, a Social Media Host, and the Broadcaster of “Let’s Grow Corporate Style.”
All my books, the ones I lived, learned from, and rose through, are gathered on my author page, waiting for you to explore, reflect, and grow with me.
Peace Purpose Program After years of walking that path, I published the Peace Purpose Program, now available on Kindle for teachers and educators. https://a.co/d/6UM0jYR
Life’s Detours – Alexandra’s Choices Can broken hearts be mended?
Where Is My Angel? A testimony to the role of faith in my life.

Sharing a happy moment… I guess our babies grow overnight and no matter how ready we are to let go, the I DO is emotional. The I DO became an I DID! A flashback of memories of me telling my daughters, you can marry when you complete higher education, live alone and pay your own bills, and start your own dream business… I guess time has come back to bite me in the tongue, the checklist was completed, and the little girl who once dressed in white and said I’m inviting you to my wedding this afternoon over cookies and juice, found her dream partner and decided to tie the knot. A brief about the couple, they are both unique and beautiful (as every child is to their parent), but now I can say I have a son (in Law) who proved to be a gentleman and a houseman. Love You Christian Abougoche What else would a mama want in life besides to see her daughter happy and the family growing. I welcome the Abougoche family to the joint venture, and look forward to more happy moments together… Marie Keep your passport ready, we are going to be the traveling and stalking mother-in-laws! God bless your future together both…
I am the author, inviting you to check the books, the characters, & their lives. I share my experience through writing, I write to inspire & I tell you the following: if you get a chance to read my books, remember it’s a life, not a book; it’s a woman, not a character; it’s a reality & not a story!
Sometimes we miss those special ones, & other times we miss keeping the special ones… A morning thought that made me realize that, in both cases, they are no longer around!
#MOI Hold on to those special ones! Check the books, they lost loved ones while alive, under different circumstances; and check your life… Are they all still there!
“It’s not the house, it’s the home!
Since I can remember, I wanted a family with thirteen children. I never understood why. I always saw a garden with everyone around, I always dreamt of a crowd, giggles, and noise. I never saw the house. It has always been the people.
Days passed, years flew, and I ended up with two daughters. At this stage, my dream started getting more visible, walls with the growing timeline of the girls, walls they painted in the garden and inside the house, I could smell the baking of every Sunday when I close my eyes and remember waking up early for them to have the freshly baked croissant before going to school; I recall school days, moving houses, leaving memories behind; I recall colors of the walls, the smell of their hair while brushing it after a shower; I still see the excitement on their faces when every house was an upgrade to the prior one, while in my heart I could not collect all the pieces left behind…
I remember every moment, cherish every phase left behind while wishing the next one would be the last, for better or for worse, as in the vow, but was as crooked as the days and path; I remember, because it hurts, I failed to make this dream happen…
But, lately, I have been doing lots of thinking, while granted enough time during the lockdown to review a few points and revive phases that were dormant.
I did not fail, my life was simply different, it started differently, it went on differently, my dream was different than other children’s dreams, I was different.
& only when you think that it is the house that matters with its walls and garden, you start realizing that it is home that will connect you under different roofs.”
#MOI lost between houses but I always had a home. I invite you to read WHERE IS MY ANGEL? and hope you find your own home!

“A Saturday like no other… Well, a time of my life like no other, I woke up to an empty house! Exactly last Saturday, I realised the change. I don’t remember whether I shared with you in the past bits and pieces about my personal life, other than in my book WHERE IS MY ANGEL?, but let me brief you, I am a DW, no, not a car, but a Divorced Women, as my status. I don’t know why, I prefer to use single, I guess, there is something in the back of my mind poking me “Failed to Succeed my marriage”, and therefore I prefer to use the single and avoid to use divorced. Please, before you raise the red flag and judge me, I wrote my opinion about this specific point in my book, and since we are not discussing this issue now, all I will say, I prefer divorce a mill times on an unhealthy relationship. What bothers me I guess, and that is the reason why I capitalised only the F and S, and not the word marriage, I believe my marriage ended in a major failure and I hate not to succeed. Anyways, I am a DW and I have 2 beautiful daughters that are today almost 27+ and 25+. My eldest, Vanessa, is currently a doctor in her almost last year of specialisation. Vanessa was born independent, I always treated her with the “handle with care” way in terms of her opinion and decisions, because she has always been a person of her own, and preferred the I in the team, you know what I mean, at this stage she lives alone and has her own life. As for the youngest, Tiffany, a very sweet creature, an artist, the into fashion, luxury, and adventures.
As we are talking now, Tiffany just embarked on a new adventure like a week ago. Not the first time, Actually few years back she left for her Master’s degree in Europe, my life was a mess, then she came back, we stayed together for a couple of years, and now here we go again… but why this time is different? Well, since Monday, I have been waking up at night, and for a split of a second denying her absence, or in the morning with the intention to check on her as sleeping before I go to work. I guess, deep in my heart, I know this it it! I always wanted her to have this life, going corporate, and growing in business. I always wanted her to realise her true strength, and take charge of her life, I always feared, for both, life wouldn’t be perfect in terms of personal partnership as it had for me, therefore, I wanted them to be professionally/financially independent so they do not have to expect financial stability coming from others, I always wanted both to be strong on the market, and lean in the relation, as in the master in the business, and the soft part in the relation. Well, I guess, I got what I always wanted, and it is time for the ostrich to get its head out of the sand; it is time I stop being emotionally dependent on my daughter/s and move on with my own interest in life. I know, at one point in life, cutting the cord might seem difficult, but in reality, it is time to give both my daughters my blessings to enjoy their life, as for me, a new journey, I do realise change is difficult, but it is time…” #MOI Cheers to courage, to faith, dear daughter, I know you will success!

“I waited by the door under the rain after ringing many times, and instead of someone opening, the past came by to remind me of their absence…
Sometimes people leave our life, they just disappear, we wonder why, we miss their presence, we call them when in distress, we speak to them, we wait, wait, and then one day we realize that an action must be taken!
Well, sometimes people leave by choice, other times they leave by force, sometimes they leave because we don’t ask them why, and other times they leave because we don’t ask them to stay…
Separation is tough, on both, especially you cannot know the truth behind it at that moment…
Fight for those you love…
Fight for those worth your presence in their life…
Fight, and get your answers, and don’t let time answer you!”

Mommy, I am a PACER! Book by #MOI because I believe that children are the future, the change…
“Born to be mature, that was her story. It started at birth with the loss of her mother. A newborn baby girl asked her first question, where is my angel?
The baby started growing facing different struggles with every phase. The difficulties were not limited to her needs, only, but expanded to questions about her surroundings. With time, she learned to stand alone. She learned about the importance of a smile, she learned about the steps towards happiness, she learned about true friendship, she learned about inner-peace, she learned about what makes a family, and additionally, she learned to differentiate between fate and destiny. Fate came with her birth, but she knew that destiny was in her own hands.
The first years of life are the pillars on which humans build their upcoming unknown future. They represent the most important years of life. It truly did; this baby girl grasped survival skills during childhood, maturity during adolescence, and spent the upcoming years mastering the game of others.
Was she able to meet her goals? Well, she never settled for less than success, and every step of her life was a proud step. She never had time to plan, as she believed that time spent on planning is taken away from the actual time needed for development.
As for faith, she always believed in God, yet, she sat waiting for God to answer the many questions she had, why she lost her mother, sister, who were the ghosts, and many others… while she felt blessed all along.
On a family level, despite the broken hearts she tried to mend, family was and still is a main part of her life, but she discovered after a while that not all families are alike, sometimes odd is nicer than the norm.
She believed that children are the essence of life, therefore, her two daughters were the fuel of her life. They kept her going, encouraged her to survive, and made of her the woman, and mother she is. They were her focus, and they gave her energy day in and day out.
She believed in equality, and probably, that is what pushed her to shine. She believed that women are smart to steer the toughest situations, and consequently, never accepted to sit in the back seat. She believed in the power of passion, and through passion, she was driven. She believed in the power of the universe, and through positivity, she closed her eyes and brought the universe down to her. & last, if she did it, you can, and you will.
The world is a beautiful place, because she saw it this way, and made it a world of her own. Money could never buy happiness, but happiness could be bought with a penny.
Dear reader, I never found my angel, because my angel was never lost. I just realized with time, that those who love us truly, never leave us. Stay strong, walk tall, smile and believe in yourself, as I believe in you.”
