About me

Gender Female
Introduction I am formerly a D'Alexander, loved that, but love even more being a Goodwin. I live by the beach, with my husband Brian. California has always been my home, although I was born and raised in Chicago with my big, delicious family of two sisters, a brother, two parents, and a little dog. They are fun, colorful, wild, and miss living by them dearly. I save lives for a living. It's my own personal ministry. I love what I do. Some people don't know how big they are to the world, to themselves, to God. I believe God wants me to show them. Without ourselves on our side, who is? We cannot fully know the deep penetrating love of God without our own love for our own selves. This is where the juiciest part of God's purpose lives, and I delight in showing people how to see it. This blog is called Re:Invention because it represents the exquisite existence of expansiveness. As I ever expand, in the graces of God, in the throes of this world, in the comedy and error of my inner self...I know I am in the mold of all that I'm meant to be. This season is called Re:Invention in my book. Enjoy the read.
