Heather M. Bassett

The Beginning…

Heather’s life started off as a “Miracle” being born with 2 large holes in her heart and many health complications. For weeks, Doctors confidently doubted her survival, many times, but God constantly intervened, disproving their claims. Doctor’s then referred to her as; “The Miracle Child.”

Little did Heather know, as she journeyed through life, she would continue to experience supernatural miracles, and Faith growing opportunities, as her divine purpose here on Earth is revealed.

At the age of 3, Heather’s parents divorced and became physically and emotionally detached, causing her and her sister to be raised by their grandparents, in an elite, Christian, nurturing, but strict household.  Communication wasn’t encouraged in the household so when Heather was humiliated by her 4th-grade teacher all year, bullied by students in upper grades, for the next two years, and experienced death for the first time, in the 7th grade, (when her Grandfather/Father figure passed)…she remained silent. 

As an escape, she learned of Maya Angelou who helped Heather utilize her creative side in writing as “A solution to release and express my thoughts precisely.” Although, Heather was learning how to express herself through writing; identifying the root causes was unaddressed, leading to defaulting toxic behaviors. Although Heather masked it well, the reality of Heather’s past experiences caused her emotional and mental distress; playing a pivotal role in the development of anxiety, self-esteem, self-worthlessness, and co-dependency issues. 

At the age of 21, Heather miraculously birthed her first child, and within 2 years, that same child returned Heather to the Lord by saying; “Mama, let’s go to church.” Heather humbly admits, “My daughter saved my life!”

Although Heather experienced emotional/mental distress and trials; such as death, poverty, rape, addiction, celibacy, and single mother parenting for 24 years, she also experienced triumphs. Heather experienced more miracles and grew personally as she sought counseling, completed many years of self-healing programs, developed love for herself and others, and Faith in Jesus Christ. At the age of 40, Heather experienced a devastating event that caused her to realize her suppressed emotions were still contributing greatly to her decisions, and she diverted back to old behaviors. It was through this event, she was finally able to surrender 100% to God and learn how to identify, embrace, accept, and forgive all the past/present hurts in order for her to completely heal; emotionally, mentally, and physically. 

Heather’s faithfulness to grow more in Jesus Christ has always kept her involved in Church, Bible studies, deliverance ministries, volunteering, and ministering to others.

2005 Heather published I Love to Love – a poetry book.
2019 Heather published I Love to Live for Jesus – 10 short testimonies touched with a reflection, Scripture, and a short poem 

Heather now transforms people’s lives by encouraging them to embrace and utilize the power within themselves and take ownership of their identity in Jesus in order to rise up from fear, shame, insecurities, co-dependency, lack of self-esteem, self-worth, lack of confidence issues.

It Takes a Village

Heather’s passion to help children is evident as she constantly interacts with them, through advocating, children’s ministry, mentoring, self-improvement classes, or parent aide.

In 2012, Heather became involved with 3Strands Global Organization to help end Human Trafficking, as an annual runner/walker, and an event volunteer.

In 2018, Heather created a program for children, Confidence Speaks, which uses the Psychologically proven affirmation philosophy to uniquely instill self-awareness, confidence, and self-esteem into children.

In April of 2019, the State of California accepted Heather as a vendor and accepted her coarse as a continued education class for Administrators of group homes. 

Inspired by her life’s work and experiences, Heather wrote I Love to Live…for Jesus (a short testimony book), as proof that Jesus is alive and active in all our circumstances; good and challenging.
