Teresa Newton-Terres (TNT) helps you navigate forward, learning from the past,
so that you keep tracking, keep trusting, and keep treasure hunting because . . . life
is a treasure hunt.
Everyone has family secrets—especially the “families” of Government, Education, and Industry. But not everyone’s includes a shipwreck, submarine, and kidnapping.
Do you have unresolved questions? Do you have misplaced anger?
Teresa knows what it’s like to feel caught in a torrent of emotions not understanding why an event happened.
You see Teresa’s father was lost at sea when she was two years old. There was talk of a shipwreck, submarine, science test, and kidnapping. Yet no one talked to her. She grew up, but still, no one talked about the family secret. This created in her unresolved questions, misplaced anger, and unanchored trust.
Using personal and professional skills, she went on a QUEST!
LIFE IS A TREASURE HUNT
Keep Tracking | Keep Trusting | Keep Treasure Hunting
Teresa writes and talks about life, projects in life, and a family mystery because everyone deserves an opportunity to experience and understand how to live with the tension of accepting what you can’t change, having the courage to change what you can, and trusting God with the journey so that you …. Navigate your future, learning from the past.
