  • Holman Family Christmas Reflections

    Merry Christmas,

    I sure hope that you enjoy your time during the Christmas Season with your family and friends.

    It is a joy for my family to be allowed to spend a little time with yours. My kiddos, Cameron, Ethan, Austin & Brooklynn were all excited to share their Christmas memories, favorite traditions & songs with everyone.

    I'm so thankful to have my parents still with us to share their fun stories of Christmas. It certainly makes my heart happy to see them laugh about memories from the "Old Days"! My Mom & Dad both grew up in much harder times than I did & learned to appreciate everything they had & each moment they were given. They shared with us the True Meaning of Christmas, Jesus Christ, along with the sacrifice He made to save us each of us.

    I'm very Blessed to continue that Legacy of sharing with our children, that Jesus is the reason for the season!

    I hope we bring a little laughter & fun to your family during this wonderful season. I'll give you one guess who was "Off KEY" during our songs! It Wasn't Me - LOL!!!

    Merry Christmas from the Holmans' & My Mom & Dad Jim & Elizabeth

    God Bless You!

  • "Wrestling with Change"-Brandon Lee Waugh

    Join me, Andrea Holman as I interview Brandon Lee Waugh on "Wake Up Take A Minute" Podcast. Learn how "Wrestling with Change", Changed the direction of this young man's life as he discovered a new path!

    Brandon Lee Waugh, was born in Scottsdale AZ & moved to Tennessee with his family, when he was three.  Brandon was a sweet boy, but with three older brothers you can bet it was an active household; with some shenanigans going on!

    Brandon was a "Star Wrestler" throughout high school, until his senior year; when a brain injury sidelined his college career & the scouting teams. It was during this time that God changed the direction of his life.

    With wrestling no longer an option, he found himself "Wrestling with Change"!  He wasn’t allowed to watch tv or engage in many activities so he found himself sitting in a dark room with nothing but time on his hands.

    He always loved music & started listening to it again. With the songs & stories, God turned his “Wrestling Heart” with a deeper love & focus on music.

    This is truly an inspirational story of how a young man focused on the path he thought God had for him, ended; but God brought him from injury to victory, as he wrestled with change!

  • Kristi Diane Williams-Finding Peace & Tranquility
    Kristi Diane Williams is the creator of KristiKollectionsLLC.
    Her mission is to make sure that every child feels like they have a Purpose and Valued!
    KristiKollectionsLLC, is a mental wellness brand that specializes in creating products that promote emotional and mental well-being.
    She is creating branded everyday products for Children, Teens & Adults that will make them feel Unique and Loved. They are available online at “Bed Bath & Beyond”!
    I obtained my Associate’s Degree in Science Technology from the University of Cincinnati in 1993, my Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts from Xavier University in 2000, and my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Cincinnati in 2007. I later received my LSW in 2008.
    At the age of 42, my soul started searching for "Peace" and "Tranquility". My life up until that point had been anything but. I was sexually abused by a family member at a young age, became fatherless at the age of 12 due to my father leaving my mother and refusing to care for us, had two children before graduating from high school and a total of four children by the time I was 25. As a young single mother of four, I struggled to provide for my children and relied on public assistance. “Peace” and “Tranquility” were definitely not a part of my world.
    Like I stated above, I was desperately in search of “Peace” and “Tranquility," even though I had no idea what they would look like in my life filled with strife and turmoil. But I began to search and started looking to the sky. That is where I found the “Peace” and “Tranquility” I was searching for.
    I created artistic photos from the sky and used them to create a “Healing Journal”. My pictures began to open new doors, a new way of thinking and seeing the world around me. They helped me to believe in a higher being and see a higher purpose for my life.
    KristiKollectionsLLC was created from my heart’s healing to promote mental wellness! A brand that specializes in creating products that engage emotional and mental well-being. My mission is to make sure that every child feels like they have a Purpose and Valued-Changing The Perspective!
    ​Accomplishments: Kristi’s breathtaking photos have been featured in 2016 HOMEARAMA® luxury home show in the Artisan custom builder home.

    My mantra: Everyone has a Story! Everyone has a Journey! Everyone has a Purpose!
