My Story

I spent most of my life making myself small.

A childhood shaped by poverty and survival taught me to whisper when what I needed was to speak. Twelve years in the military and a long career in nursing taught me resilience and service, but they also reinforced a life lived in quietness—one where my story belonged to everyone but me.

​

At fifty, when the world I had built collapsed around me, I found myself standing alone in my living room—lost, quiet, and unsure of who I was beyond the roles I had spent a lifetime performing. The moment everything changed.

​

With the help of angels who walked beside me, I began the slow, courageous journey of rediscovering myself. I learned to say no. I learned to take up space. I learned that my story mattered not because it was extraordinary, but because it was mine.

 

AND...

What began as personal restoration grew into STORYLINE Fragrance—a place where scent becomes a pathway back to self, and where every scent tells your story.
