Throughout her life, Deborah has been passionate to see others live up to their potential, and pursue dreams and goals that are higher than their current mode of thinking allows. She exhorts others to “come up higher,” even as she pursues ever greater challenges in her own life.

Deborah motivates others to pursue life holistically: to address not just the needs of the mind, but of the body, soul, and spirit, understanding that the health of each part contributes to success as a whole.

All of these strengths and passions were brought into clarity of focus and purpose as she authored her OPUS on The Deeper Path.  Now, as a Founding Partner on the Deeper Path Team, she empowers others to TAKE ON LIFE, CONQUER obstacles, and awaken the WARRIOR within.

Deborah lives outside of Houston with her husband, adult children, granddaughter, and mother. For more information visit www.takeonlife.net.
