How does she do it?  Uh...by the grace of God.

Victoria is a writer, a blogger, a business woman, an artist, a crafter, a baker, a loving friend, wife, mother and grandma.

She's full of life in the truest sense of the words.

Internet surfing led me into Victoria's life years ago.  I loved her sparkling personality and her love for Jesus.  She is an encourager and comforter.  She empties herself into the world and allows God to use her in every way under the sun.  She's a counselor and comforter.  She is an enigma to the world because her struggles in life are mountainous, and yet she remains steadfast and strong in the Lord.  I see her goodness in the midst of all she writes.  I feel the empathy in her heart from 2,000 plus miles away.  I call her friend.  She's my prayer partner and sister-in-Christ.

If you want to spotlight your femininity, I pray you visit her Etsy website, Beadiful Soul.

If you need a sweet gift for a friend, family member or co-worker, Victoria makes lovely jewelry as she battles chronic illnesses, struggles to help add income since her handicapped husband lost his job.  She spends a lot of time boosting the spirit of others.  I pray you visit her Etsy site, Beadiful Soul and see if there's anything there to strike your fancy.  Indulge.  selahV

Vicki, I am so grateful for you and all you show us in weathering the storms. I know it is not easy. It's harder with each step. But you have not wavered in your love for God. I wanted to make you happy. I'm glad it helped achieve that for a bit. hariette
