When she is not working, Tavaras is blessed to be referred to as just mom. The mom of two amazing children shared they fuel every fire that burns in me and delight my heart. They are my headaches and my medicine at times, but I love them with everything in me and beyond! My sweet love muffins as she refers to them are God sent and they keep me on my feet.
Ten toes down, with no days off! I would not trade them for anything! With an 18-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, it is from nail salon runs to catching lizards and housing geckos. Every day is an adventure, and you never know ahead of time what is in store.
They demand and require me to shut your phone off mom, it is our time moments, and it is an honor to be able to give them that! Outside of them, Its family, FUN, and fellowship. Travel, Gardening, Crafts and Quiet time. She explained, her circle is small, and she prefers it that way!

God will always get all the glory from our story. Especially mine! We all survived! My life is empowering, scary at times, always filled with unconditional love and a stick together, pray, go, fight, win- motto, filled with dreams, driven by faith, keep the by prayers flowing, they will not return void. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
The prayers of the righteous availeth much! The prayers, hard work, blood, sweat, tears, faith, fights, forgiveness, failing forward, stumbling and tripping but getting back up is paying off. This testimony is so much more than just selling homes and striving to be the best at it, it’s about the “key” representing the journey to endure and make it back to our heavenly home, trust with blind faith in the giver of sight and blessings, it’s about the safe haven, it’s about creating legacies and being covered in the blood that never loses its power,

Her older brother Rodney opened his twobedroom apartment that he shared with a roommate to her, giving her unlimited access to find comfort and shared his room and closet. She shared how his love, kindness, and willingness to see her grow and win is so instrumental to “everything” she is today! She teared up and shared “there are no words for my love and appreciation for him, for all my siblings and my cousins. They have ALL
been so instrumental in this journey and better than good to me! Through it all, we stand as a unit! Without them, where would I be? From the oldest to youngest: Karen, DeWayne, Stephanie, Rodney, Carlos, my cousin/ brother Enrique, Jordan, Jabari, Dre, CJ, Alani, Ayden, KW and best friend WM, this journey started with us, and I pray abundance and overflow upon each of you, 100 times fold. We are ready for overflow! Talk about BIG on any scale! This is massive and this alone is why I am wealthy with something far greater than just money; I have a true unconditional love and force to be reckoned with from God and my family!” What other reasons would one need? Not sure, but they are my main reasons why! A
that’s stronger than any roof with shingles, it’s about strong foundation, my rock and my fortress! Glory Hallelujah! The key and commitments to eternal life with the Lord are real. They always will be! I am Shouting my favorite phrase “I’ve got winning on my life” Same Grace for my family, my business and each of you (in the voice of my Pastor Bishop William Murphy) I HAVE VICTORY! Thank you, Lord, I do not look like or feel like what I have been through! I am grateful, humbled, resilient, dedicated, faithfully seeking and free from what could have taken me out, free from what tried to consume me and grateful that God sees the best in me, as I am seeking him with my whole heart! I refer to myself as “A well steeped cup of Tea”! Through the toughest times of my life, God keep me! I soaked in the hot water, and it did not consume me, it made me better! My trials and tribulations brought the best out of me. My God! Glory Hallelujah! God kept me her! I am a well steeped cup of tea, still brewing and getting better for God’s best! Amen!
great promise built and humble beginnings, it took years to become this well steeped cup of tea and I am still brewing!
BUT GOD, who would have thought God’s promise would look like this? Not in a million years, but God did!!! Tavaras Jones, born on 10/10/1975 In the small, yet amazing city of Valdosta Georgia to parents Frazier Jones and Helen Myers Jones came the baby girl and the youngest of four children. My father Frazier was a Master Brick Mason and Builder. My mom Helen, known by most as Niece, was a Nurturing Patient Caregiver and the Best Sweet Potato Baker on this side of heaven.
They were destined to unite, they fell in love quickly, married and started a family. With a combination of this magnitude, it is no surprise what was cooking and getting ready to come “hot and fresh” out the oven, lol! In a few years there were four of us. My parents were incredibly young parents with four vibrant children, trying to simply figure life out themselves. It was not easy by far, there were ups and downs, far from anything shiny or related to a silver spoon, but it was one God ordained and created with divine purpose. We would not take anything for our journey I would not change my steps to my story for the world!
