WOW--I am humbled

Hello everyone!!--My name is Heather Trompke and I am one of the 2010 Deserving Divas.

I have been so humbled throughout the selection process. It blows my mind to think of the more than 250 nominations, that I was chosen to be a part of this makeover.

Let me tell you a bit about myself and my life. I am 30-something, with 6-yes 6-kids. My husband and I met on eharmony.com almost 7 years ago. Matt lived in Idaho and I lived in GA. After a year of cross-country romance, he moved to GA with our oldest. He had two kids, I had three and we have one together. We have 5 boys and one girl, they are 16, 12, 12, 10, 8 and 2. Five of the six live with us full-time.

I juggle many titles and responsibilities. Besides being wife, mom, daughter and sister, I also have two businesses, I am the Community Outreach Director of Way of Life Community Church in Tyrone, and travel the world for work and the Kingdom.

There have been many "adventures" I have encountered in my life that have led to shaping me into the woman I am today. Never would I have asked for most of these "adventures", but I have decided that God gets all the glory for bringing me through to the other side!!!

Working with my local community in conjunction with Way of Life and the Chamber of Commerce has given me a real drive to pull the community together. I look forward to talking more about that later.

I want to commend all the partners that have come on board to make the "Deserving Diva" possible. You are all sowing amazing seed into good ground. We have a teacher, a survivor and advocate for domestic abuse, nurse and speaker on health issues and myself. We all have taken experiences and passions and turned them back to our community. There is no wallowing in our circumstances, we have overcome and are moving forward. THANK YOU!!!!!

We have an amazing ride ahead of us in the next six months.

So, jump on board--it is going to be FUN!!!!
