I did what I now teach others to do. I imagined, believed, and persevered before I prospered. My journey has required me to stay the course in the face of difficulties and stay true to my dreams, goals, and my life’s aspirations. In addition, I studied my craft, invested in my specialization with money, time, and continued education, and associated with experts in my field. I guess you could say I learned to listen well and grasp much.
their child, and many others gave me guidance, protection, and direction along the way. Since my Aunt did not have children, she allowed me to experience many adventures while not confining me to her life experiences. I was given the gift to dream and imagine a better life for myself, whatever I decided to pursue or wherever I wanted to go. I remember my uncle instilling in me, “you can be anyone you want to be just make up your mind.”

First hand, I witnessed that a disabling medical condition could strike at any time to anyone. Disability can set the family back financially if you do not have adequate insurance to replace the lost income of the family member who becomes disabled. When you are down on your luck, people are waiting to take advantage of your situation for their gain.
My Aunt was my mother’s oldest sister. She gave me unconditional love, and I was able to return this love to her when her health declined and ultimately ended in her early death at age sixty. Overall, she gave me the gift to dream and imagine a better life and pursue or go wherever I wanted to go.
Our family felt the impact of disability which led to us losing our home. Going through that ordeal forced me to acquire wisdom and responsibility early because I had to assist with my sick guardian’s caregiving. I saw firsthand how important it is to protect your assets with the proper legal documents and financial planning.
I would say Gloria S. Riley is Phenomenal, Dynamic, and Inspirational.
