Tina Delgados, Founder of True Definitions

I am a hard working mother of two beautiful boys. Over the past couple of years, I had a burning desire to make a difference in the world by helping others. During this time, I really didn’t know how, all I knew was this desire burned deep inside of me. I’d like to refer to this burning desire as “my gift.”

Two years ago, I was in the process of going through a divorce. While venting to a friend, I took a deep breath and said, “Wow, wouldn’t it be great to go to a website where you can click on a word like divorce and write your heart out? A website where you read and relate to others, seek support from someone who already traveled down your road or offer support to someone once you completed your journey.” I felt this would be a great way for one to release life’s pressures or to learn about how others have dealt with certain obstacles in their lives. We often walk around thinking we have life so bad. After reading about the experiences of others, it may help us realize life is not that bad after all...

After kicking the thought around for a couple of months, life’s pressures crept back in, causing this vision to be put on hold. Two years later, the fire sparked back up and I was ready to move full speed ahead. My life had finally come full circle and I still had the PASSION and was ready to step out boldly with this VISION. And the rest is history….

When My Sister and Best Friend shared her thoughts about creating a place where people could go to express themselves; it was amazing how the vision came to me so vividly. I could immediately relate to what she was trying to accomplish. Together we became obsessed with the desire to help people who are in need around the world, find peace within themselves.

I have personally been through a number of challenges in my own life. During these challenging moments, I kept a positive attitude by knowing there were people in the world going through much more than I was. I often thought about my family members and friends who died at a very early age from drug addiction. I would ask myself “Wouldn’t they love to be here right now fighting this particular battle, rather than the battles they fought, only to lose the fight?” It was these thoughts and memories of loved ones that would get me to the next phase in my life. Through all of the ups and downs, I have always had a vision for myself and for my future. I am a firm believer that God does not give us more than we can handle.

About Us Together

Growing up as bi-racial children in the projects has exposed us to all walks of life. We were affected by words like alcoholism, death, poverty and racism; but chose to focus on words like love, friendship, compassion and acceptance. We had relationships with people of all races, economic levels and people who were addicted to many different substances and we loved each group equally. We are thankful that we surrounded ourselves with all people. This has taught us to be open-minded and allowed us to see the good in everyone.

We have been through a lot of life’s experiences together, both good and bad. Through our own personal connection to one another, we have always had the ability to find our way back to the top. This is our desire for each and every one of you. We are hopeful that through your connection with others; you too will find your way back on to a solid foundation.

Thanks to our Higher Power for giving us the Vision and Blessing us with the Passion.
