About Me



Hi, I'm Naomi. Some of my friends call me creative, ambitious, and funny. 

Although I love these labels, I value them calling me a loving friend the most.

If you want to get to know me on a deeper level, then please keep reading.

1. I grew up in a high-tense atmosphere with lots of pain. (Causes relational dysfunction)
2. Became a Christian and started learning how to love people.
3. Went to college for several years, changed my major 4 times, and dropped out without a  
    degree.
4. Became interested in sharing ideas and starting an online business.
5. Started learning entrepreneurial content while raising my children as a stay-at-home  
    mom and homeschooling on top of that. (No, I'm not super mom. I failed lots of times.)
6. Gained interest on selling on eBay and cried with joy when I sold a pair of military boots for around $200 when I only paid $10 for them.
7. Gained interest on making money with adsense while making videos on YouTube. 
    Although I wasn't sure how it all worked, I cried with joy when I made 2 cents! I realized 
    that it was true. You can make money on YouTube. (I've made a couple hundred since 
    then even though I was inconsistent with video uploads.)

During all of these experiences, it affected how I treated my friends. There was a time where I was a loving friend, then a shallow friend, then ended up without any meaningful friends. I allowed life's stressors blind me from the importance of friendships. 

I was a wife and mom and did do my best to maintain a good relationship with my family but didn't allow those relationship skills to go past my home unto my lady friends.

When I found myself reaching out to my "friends", I found myself reaching out to an empty, cold road. It was as if I stepped out into town and was welcomed by a ghost town. I ran to all the familiar places, expecting to be welcomed with smiles and familiar embraces but no one was home. Almost as if our previous experiences had never existed. 

I would call and text these formerly trusted and reliable friends, but things were cold, everyone was busy, and no one seemed to really care for me. No one cared to talk with me, respond to my messages or to connect in any meaningful way. 

I was crushed.

Then, that's where this journey began. I realized that many of these wonderful ladies had let the love of friendship to grow cold. And just like Paul (1 Corinthians 15:9) I felt so under-qualified but have felt the urgent need to turn things around. 

My mission is to stir up the love in friendship.
