Discovering Andrene's Extraordinary Journey:

Who Am I? A Spiritual and Driven Individual

I am a deep, reticent who can be verbose at times – traits that should not be mistaken for weakness. My life is centred on maintaining balance and order, and I constantly strive to improve myself and help others do the same. I have a great penchant for rooting for the underdogs. These qualities have been evident since childhood, but now I realize their significance.

I can totally relate to them as a person who has overcome numerous challenges in life, from financial setbacks to unwavering resilience and eventual triumph. Despite the struggles, I have emerged stronger than ever.

My Girls

Raising children on your own can be an incredibly challenging experience. I did a fantastic job with my daughters, Zoey and Selene who turned out to be extraordinary, accomplished and open-minded young ladies, if I do say so myself. They are my most significant source of pride and joy.

A Proud Achievement as Zoey's Pageant Coach

I take pride in sharing that Zoey (second from left) has participated in four pageants under my coaching. She excelled in all of them: Titles "Miss Black Ontario, 2009," First Runner-up in "Miss Super Jamboree," Second Runner-up in "Miss Teen Canada," "Miss Teen Brampton Int'l," and Top-20 in "Miss Universe Canada, 2009."

Finding Inner Strength through Faith and Compassion

My source of strength comes from my relationship with the Lord. Through prayer, reflective writing, and grit one can achieve great things. Without God in my life, I would be a lost, wandering soul. I'm grateful for His many mercies and blessings towards me. And, of course, my girls are a constant source of support and inspiration.



The Importance of Home and Family: A Story of Family Bonds and Life Lessons

Home is where I find my peace and tranquillity and recharge my energy. Growing up in a Christian household with many siblings taught me the significance of togetherness and kinship. My mother was a kind confidant, while my father instilled in me the values of discipline, persistence, and hard work. Although he was strict, we developed a strong bond. 

Our parents left us a remarkable legacy of faith, inner strength, and beauty. Music has always been the highest source of nourishment for the soul. Through it all, I find solace and comfort in knowing God is my refuge and strength and is always present in times of need.

A New Year's Eve Devotion - The Hands of God

A New Year's Eve Devotion - The Hands of God My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens. ~Isaiah 48:13 NIV What I woke up to this morning. I quickly sprang from my bed, okay, sofa where I have been sleeping for a while now, and grabbed my phone quickly to capture the vision in front of me. Half hour later, I am still snapping pix and vids. If only my camera could see what I could see. One of the best things about living in this space is the marvellous sunrise and moons I get to experience. REFLECT & PRAY The vision inspired me write a poem reflecting what the image of God's hand was saying to me: THE HANDS OF GOD: Crimson Curtain, Sunrise Framed Through crimson curtains God kissed my eyes, A glowing dawn begins to spread. The city rests still and serene, While crimson skies ignite the scene. A balcony, aged but full of grace, Embraces the glow in its weathered space. Below, a waking town appears, Its shops and streets, calm pion...
