As a
motivational speaker, Nicolle founded NspireD to motivate, guide, and
breathe life into others. Her “Diamonds of Destiny” seminar was designed
for separated and divorced women. In a safe environment, suddenly single
women can better understand their value as God’s Diamonds on a
journey toward Destiny! In addition to writing a book that will
serve as “spiritual survival guide for suddenly single women,” Nicolle
continues to expand her gift as a singer/songwriter.
I
Corinthians 10:13 is her favorite scripture:
“No
temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is
faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with
the temptation will
also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
