Today we’d like to introduce you to Sylvia Flanagan.
Hi Sylvia, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Hi, my name is Sylvia Flanagan. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I just celebrated my 51st birthday. This one was extremely special to me. Because my sister and mother died before making it to 51. How did I get to where I am today? It is my faith in God that has got me to this place in my life. In life we all want to know what our purpose is in life. So, we’re all walking through this journey asking ourselves… Where do I fit in? What was I created here to do? Some people may find this out early on. And it may take others to find out later on in life. I believe we are all created to make an impact. When we make a difference while walking in our purpose. It brings us joy and light to the people we impact!
How did I get to where I am today? By Passionately pursuing what I was created to be. I wanted to know my God Purpose here on earth… I’ve come to realize. It isn’t just one thing. As we mature and grow. It’s multiple things.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
This journey hasn’t always been easy. It has had its ups and downs. Sometimes, when we are faced with life struggles, we will find ourselves living in a box. That box is called fear! When we fear, it consumes us. It will also paralyze us, and we’ll never get out of our box. We won’t try new things. Sometimes, people stay stuck until their season is up here on Earth. I came to a place in my life. Where I was tired of being sad and fearful!!! I begin to enjoy the trees and the sunlight. I went outside more and begin to walk the beautiful trails in the DFW area… I started waking up and not taking life for granted.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
This season in my life. I do a lot of things. I have a salon here in the DFW area. I specialized in keratin treatments, hair growth, natural hair, colors, and steam treatments. I’ve been in the hair industry for 26 years. The last four years, I’ve been a social media influencer. I really enjoyed this. It’s a lot of hard work creating content. But I loved trying new products that’s coming out on the market. But one day I’m believing God will expand my territory to greater things. I also serve with my Pastors, Chris and Sheila Walls, at Life Community Church in Plano, Texas. I love serving my community and helping this world to be a better place.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
If you’ve experience any form of trauma or disappointment. I want you to choose to live daily. What does that look like? Choosing joy over sadness. Joy isn’t erasing the pain or the disappointment in your life. But you are choosing not to focus on it. Find out the things in life that brings you joy. It may be self-care, hanging out with friends, or taking long walks on the peaceful trails in the DFW area. In order for us to live. We must pursue peace. Remember, we only have one life. Don’t spend it living in a place of darkness or fear.
