🥤 Coca-Cola Collection & Dreams Come True: “Start with what you have. Start with who you are.”
As I reflect on the sentimental journey of collecting Coca-Cola treasures, I’m reminded of the mindset that fuels every chapter of my life. July marks the launch of my “Millionaire Mindset” series—a celebration of abundance, legacy, and the power of dreaming big. I’m not just a collector; I’m a content creator, author, blogger, caregiver, mentor, dementia caregiving advocate, and travel extraordinaire. My work is rooted in emotional storytelling and accessibility, blending Southern folklore with aspirational travel and legacy-building. Whether I’m curating vintage finds or crafting immersive walking tours, my mission is to empower others to live richly—through memory, meaning, and movement.
Coca-Cola Collectibles & Childhood Dreams: How Love, Legacy, and a Sip of Harmony Sparked a Global Journey
I remember hearing that Coca-Cola song as a little girl—
🎶 “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony…” 🎶
And I believed it. Every word.
Even before I had a passport.
Even before I knew what “branding” meant.
I just knew I wanted to share love with the world.
But I didn’t have money.
I didn’t have a way to travel.
So I asked God:
“How can I share love with the world if I can’t afford to go see it?”
And you know what He whispered back?
“Start with what you have. Start with who you are.”
So I did.
With a Coke collectible from Auntie Sylvia.
With laughter from Aunt Bobbie.
With Grandma’s arms wrapped around all of us.
With stories, with joy, with a heart that never stopped singing.
Now I travel the world—but I carry that little girl with me.
The one who didn’t need a plane ticket to believe in harmony.
She just needed a song, a dream, and a little bit of love.
Today, I have a room filled with Coca-Cola collectibles—
Each one a reminder of the love, the legacy, and the dreams fulfilled over the years.
Because sometimes, the biggest journeys begin with the smallest sips.
This July, I launched my “Millionaire Mindset” series—a soulful celebration of abundance, legacy, and the belief that dreams begin at home. I’m more than a collector; I’m a content creator, author, blogger, caregiver, mentor, dementia caregiving advocate, and travelpreneur. My work is rooted in emotional storytelling and accessibility, blending Southern folklore with aspirational travel and legacy-building. Whether I’m curating vintage finds or crafting immersive walking tours, my mission is to empower others to live richly—through memory, meaning, and movement. Because just like that little girl with a Coke and a dream, I believe love can travel farther than any passport ever could.
