A little about me: I'm an educator and director of an online school. I've worked in the field of education for 28 years. Being a teacher is hard, y'all!!! I have two adult sons who are my world. I have a passion for going to concerts, gardening, landscaping, cooking, and lovin' on my family every chance I get. I established TAKAbout It in 2023 because I knew I had to share all things health and wellness with the masses.

My Health Story: On May 23, 2021, all my family gathered at my parent’s house. Some of us hadn’t seen each other in well over a year. Of course, that meant it was picture time. I was so embarrassed when I saw the picture of me with my kids. So embarrassed that I made my sister take it again at another angle. Basically, that meant with my gut sucked in, hiding behind my son, and from a higher angle to hide my double chin.

I was furious at myself for letting my weight get out of control. I was sick and tired of making excuses for gaining so much weight. The day I was sick to death with myself, I grabbed a box and filled it with every bit of the snack food in my kitchen. I sent it to my ex-husband’s house…lol.
