Virginia Native Launches Message of Inspiration for the Roadways of Life

LEESBURG, VA, September 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) The triumphs and setbacks of faith, career, family, health, fun and relationships are creatively presented in her narratives as she reveals the many twisting paths and roads of her journey.
Deborah takes us beyond her single parent family, civil rights era upbringing—weaving together her road map of pursuits as an army officer, corporate manager and entrepreneur while bringing in her personal downfalls along the way, with a metaphorical poignancy that provides a moving message and appreciation for how our own bumpy roads often lead to unexpected, and richly rewarding destinations.
"Life's roads, paths or journeys are often paved with the travails and triumphs of a barrage of daily evolving circumstances, Deborah reminds us. Sometimes we don't know the directions or map to our true north. Is there an IPS (Internal Positioning System) to guide us?" she asks. As Deborah reflects back on the defining and explaining moments of her life, of which the loss of her mother is one, she spiritually and succinctly finds lessons and a guided hand that supported her adventures all along.
