About Me

Sophie… Mother. Wife. Step-Mother. Daughter. Cousin. Niece. Friend. Associate. Christian. Student. Coworker... and the list goes on. These labels, although accurate, are nothing more than an inventory of roles that I’ve learned to function in; they are certainly insufficient in capturing the true essence of who I really am.

For as long as I can remember, I've used these and other external and situational things to define myself and for an even longer time I believed that I had so much figured out only to realize that my perspectives were often overcast which cause me to lose sight of the real me. It wasn't until recently that I've been able to begin to answer the questions of "Who am I?" and "Where do I fit in this world?" and answer them confidently.

Over the past few years I've had to overcome painful experiences, harsh realities, and have gone through intense internal warfare. I've had to be completely broken in order for the real me to emerge; I've had to travel down some lonely and often frightening roads in order to understand my potential and purpose. I've had to reconstruct my thinking to get out of some mental valleys; I've had to reprioritize my agendas to make sense of my chaos. I had to revive my spirit in order to reconnect with the divine source of my strength. I had to fully eradicate the “me” that I knew in order for the new me… the real me…the imperfectly perfect me to emerge.

This process, although painful, was very therapeutic. It triggered an eagerness within me to want to share the experiences with those who have struggled, are struggling, or will struggle with similar matters. Those who long to find, get to know and grow to love who they really are.  So I invite you to journey with me, laugh with me, cry with me, as I expose some of my most intimate moments, thoughts, and feelings. I hope that my authentic transparency will help to encourage you, motivate you, and cheer you on to freeing yourself from your internal constraints, past hurts and raw realities to create space for a better you… the real you,  to emerge.

This is me. Naked. Uncovered. No bras. No panties. No slips. No pantyhose. No shell. For this journey I'm wearing...Nothing but a see through dress.
