Hi there! My name is Michelle and I am truly honored to
be a part of the Luvely Wives Club! I
knew this community was the place for me the moment Luvely and I exchanged
emails. Just a week prior to our meeting
I had confided in a close friend of mine that I wanted to, “reach,” other
couples. After having been through some
pretty unique experiences in my own marriage and faith I felt for quite some
time, a desire to share a sense of hope, faith and positivity with other
women. Literally within a matter of days
of sharing this with my friend, I stumbled upon The Luvely Wives Club and knew
that God had answered my prayers to serve.
I am 36 years old and a mother to
five children. Our oldest three (Luke,
Evan and Maddie) are from my husband’s first marriage and then we have our two
youngest kids, Jackson and Grace. Our
oldest son will be turning 17 in the fall and our youngest daughter Grace just
turned 2 in March. So, as you can see we
have a diverse age range and a blended family which has surely kept things
interesting over the years! My husband
and I have been married for five years and together for ten. Larry and I moved in with each other after
just 2 weeks of dating and from that moment on our adventure together hasn’t
stopped. We have had some amazing highs
and anguishing lows but through it all we’ve remained best friends and it has
made all the difference. I can’t wait to
share more of our story with you in the coming weeks!
Ever since I was a young girl,
writing has always been a passion of mine.
There’s something magical about stringing together the English language
in ways that can stir emotion in others, even amongst strangers. A single sentence can inspire heartwarming
laughter, give thoughtful pause or draw tears from the soul. Writing today, in a world that is dominated
largely by texts, tweets and emails is like a vintage art to me. Meaningful writing, the kind that binds us
together as strong, beautiful and fiercely Guided women, simply never goes out
of style. God has given to each of us a
unique gift, designed to be shared in the service of others so that we may rise
to our highest levels of human experience.
My hope is that my gift can be used to help each of you discover yours
so that it may be shared within your marriages, your relationships and in your greater
lives.
In my spare time I enjoy working
out, reading too many books at one time (I am currently reading 4 different ones)
and convincing our youngest kids that getting a dog would not be a scary
thing. I am currently writing a book
entitled, “Through the Darkness,” and eventually plan to travel the country as
a motivational speaker and author. My
husband and I live in South Jersey (don’t ask me how a girl born in Puerto Rico
ends up living in Jersey!) and love exploring new restaurants and new
experiences. But I still consider the, “south,” my home as I spent most of my
adolescence growing up in Florida. I
hope this gives you a little glimpse into who I am and I look forward to
connecting with you more in my next post.
Until then…the love in me salutes the love in you.
