My name is Elizabeth Mathis-Smith. I am a 48 year old orphan and widow. (But trust me I am so much more!) I want to share my story and my continuous growth. My desire is to encourage and inspire others who have dealt with tremendous heartache. I want to hear others triumphant successes and how they overcame their losses. For me, I know it was ALWAYS God! Please join me on this journey of the unknown. I am optimistic and I am grateful!
