Welcome
Finding Purpose, Reveal a Legacy, and How to Walking in the
LENS of Your LEGACY
The role of PAUSE has been translated into a multi-generationally, diverse ministry; bringing solace & awareness to end-of-life care, the diverse kinds of needs experienced across the aging communities and their caregivers. Most come seeing the need for a PAUSE moment in their 40s, but the commitment comes to pass during retirement, or for some, it is a shift in focus. Usually, a product of the intention behind the reality of facing transitional times such as hospice, long-term care facilities, and communities. PAUSE serves the aging population with the belief that this is a cyclical journey. We know that we will walk in their shoes one day thus, we "pay it forward".
Simply, Just ...

We explore "Logotherapy" which "is aimed at helping you to make better use of your 'spiritual' resources to withstand adversity.
We have found that organically we tap into the three specific techniques intended to help with this process include dereflection, paradoxical intention, and Socratic dialogue."
“Be like a tree.
Stay grounded.
Connect with your roots.
Turn over a new leaf.
Bend before you break.
Enjoy your unique natural beauty.
Keep growing.”

BUT PAUSE BELIEVES YOU CAN GO DEEPER
The Difference
Why PAUSE?
Well, it is pretty simple ... outside of the typical benefits of guided personal coaching, PAUSE stands on the reality that with every valley in our lives there is nothing but opportunity that lies before us.
We are committed to not just an Idea but a MOVEMENT. A movement that embraces our basic human NEEDS, recognizes our vast Mental Health struggles and one that understands the Loss and the depths of Grief.
Our Core Principles
-
Matter Can NOT be Created Nor Destroyed.
-
You are made up of a body, mind, and spirit, and your spirit is your essence.
-
You are a multi-dimensional Being that has basic needs that should be acknowledged for fulfillment.
-
Your life has meaning no matter your circumstances.
-
All people have a motivation to find meaning in their lives, "Their PURPOSE"; uncovering that meaning allows us to endure pain and suffering.
-
Our adversity makes us stronger.
-
You always have the freedom to find your own meaning, and you can choose your attitude even in situations that you can’t change.
-
For decisions to be meaningful, you must live in ways that match the values of society or your own conscience.
-
All individuals are unique and irreplaceable.
-
Creating something: Creating something such as art gives you a sense of purpose, which can add meaning to your life.
-
Developing relationships: Social Support can help you to develop more of a sense of meaning.
-
Finding purpose in pain: If you are going through something negative, try to find a purpose in it. Even if this is a bit of mental trickery, it will help to see you through.
-
Understanding that life is not fair: There is nobody keeping score, and you will not necessarily be dealt a fair hand. However, life can always have meaning, even in the worst of situations.
-
Embracing your freedom to find meaning: Remember that you are always free to make meaning out of your situation; nobody can take that away from you.
-
Focusing on others: Try to focus outside of yourself. This may help you to stop feeling mentally "stuck" in a situation in your own life.
-
Acceptance is easier said than done.
FAITH & HOPE
You can start living in the way you want to be remembered. It will allow you to start doing what matters, now. Knowing what you want your legacy to be will allow you to make better use of your time and other resources. It will influence your day-to-day decisions in a positive way. Gaining clarity on what you want your legacy to be can give your life
meaning and purpose. It will enable you to allow the legacy that you’re building to determine how you show up in the world each day. You will live your life as if you matter.
Thank you for your interest in PAUSE
~ A Movement for a Moment ~
Pause was built from the rare perspective of a Minority, Business Owner and Mother, who has continuously faced the reality of Mortality. Mortality and Loss, oddly, have been the advantage, in achieving, what she considers, her Purpose. With over 30 years of experience in servicing an expanding, diverse, multicultural sectors of National and International communities and with areas of study within the Medical field and Business, combine with Healthcare, Thanatology, End of Life Planning, End of Life Doula practices, Insurance, Estate Planning, Business Law, Education and Entrepreneurship; she saw that one key to embracing LIFE, was to embrace the reality that there is an Alpha and an Omega.
This mindset leads one to have a REVERENCE for Life, in which your values, choices, experiences, self-worth and purpose become more SIGNIFICANT. But with that really, Let there be a charge placed on your heart, to do something with it.
Pause see you as HOPE for the future.
The question is:
If you only have one opportunity to make your Mark, Live your Dash and make a Difference by Leaving a Legacy,
HOW will you pursue it?
Pause encourages you to take the time to look at your life BACKWARD, with a focus on the stages of life. Your perspective tends to change over time, as we PAUSE to analyze & explore the different aspects of life and all it has for you. PAUSE is under the firm understanding that “From Death can comes Life” but like prayer without action, it does not come to light without commitment, focus, motivation and drive.
Some of you are here because you have experienced personally loss and you're trying to move through it and some of you are here because you're seeing the growth in your adversity that lead you to turning around and reaching a hand back. Wherever you are in your journey, just stop and PAUSE for a second and simply just BREATHE ...
