Hi, I’m Robin Reyes. A wife, a mom, a REALTOR, an entrepreneur, a survivor against all odds… sharing a message of Faith, Hope and Love.
God Has A Plan…
A little about me…
I’m a wife. I am a mom to 2 little girls. I’m a Catholic. I’m a REALTOR. I’m an entrepreneur. I was a business owner for 21 years… until….
I’ve always been very active. I love adventure, whether traveling abroad or across our great USA, climbing up or skiing down a mountain. I’m a yogi. I’m a Denver Broncos fan. I’m a scuba diver. I’m a bit of a foodie. I love to cook, garden and craft. Really – just about any sort of adventure, and I’m in!
So you can imagine, when I awoke one morning in an ICU hospital bed, with vague memories of my night nurse cheering me on with whispered updates of how amazingly I was rebounding, I knew one thing for certain. I said to my dad, “God has held me in the palm of His hand. I’m okay. I’ll be okay. God has a plan.” Those next months leading to years were harrowing, but regardless indeed, He does. NOT just for me, but for YOU too.
Unless you have suffered and wept, you really don’t understand what compassion is, nor can you give comfort to someone who is suffering. If you haven’t cried, you can’t dry another’s eyes. Unless you’ve walked in darkness, you can’t help wanderers find the way. Unless you’ve looked into the eyes of menacing death and felt its hot breath, you can’t help another rise from the dead and taste anew the joy of being alive. Successful people do what unsuccessful people are simply unwilling to do.
– Takashi Nagai from A Song for Nagasaki
Background
Robin’s diverse background, from owning and running a successful design business, owning and managing rental properties, mentoring others to success in an online business, counseling and serving real estate clients, to being a wife and mother, volunteering in preschools and elementary schools, as well as being a Catholic Biblical School Scholar… she has mentored and/or inspired the lives of many to not just live life, but to love life, and live life it to its fullest.
Experience
Robin’s passion to inspire others in whatever journey they are on, to build awareness about Sepsis and be a resource for other survivors, assist in the need for more understanding and research, has already led to her being a Keynote Speaker at the national sales meeting for a leading diagnostics company, completing a successful fund-raiser and awareness building as well about and for Sepsis, in just the first year since this part of her journey began. Additionally, with all her medical procedures and being a patient, over and over was told by healthcare workers “You’re so inspiring! You need to share this with others…”
And here we are…
Leadership
As President of Roberts Drapery Inc., for 21 years, Robin led a diverse yet thriving team. A servant leadership attitude, all being “spokes on the same wheel” was and continues to be her philosophy. Together, in communion with one another, anything is possible. Even today she is paving a new path .. yet one based on serving others, inspiring others.
Topics
Robin’s story of survival, of a “mystery illness” aka COVID-19 and septic shock, and the loss of so much… independence, her livelihood and life’s work, skin grafts and ostomy, ostomy reversal, amputations of fingers and toes, yet she continually praised God for sparing her life, for bestowing her with grace, and she continued to radiate genuine joy amidst all else… Faith, Hope, and Love. She continues to heal, regain strength, to recreate her own life.
