About – Vanessa Daniels

I love God! And I love people! Spending time with family fills my tank full to running over, and my grandson brings me joy unspeakable! But when my husband Mark – my forever love and best friend – died suddenly from multiple massive strokes to his midbrain in February 2019, barely one week after Valentine’s Day, I was crushed, and thought my life was over too.

Combined with the loss of my sister who had died in 2007 and my mom who died less than 2 years after Mark, I felt like a widow and an orphan. For months, I asked God questions like “Who am I”, “What’s my purpose?” and “Why did this happen?” on repeat.

But when I finally heard God say that I am His beloved daughter and my purpose is Him, the darkest season of my life was transformed into purposeful beauty. I began to breathe again, and GRAVES TO GARDENS was born.

Called and anointed to help you fulfill your destiny by discovering the power of who you are in Christ, I have over 40 years of experience as a successful, heart-centred people leader, project manager, and coach. I’ve mentored countless young women, young adults, teens, and married couples in 1:1 sessions and groups.

I love the beauty of God’s creation! Walking in the serene beauty of nature parks, mountains, and along glistening bodies of water connects me to His heartbeat. Thai food, travelling, and deep chats with close friends give me goosebumps! I’ve lived and travelled domestically and internationally, and currently reside in Mansfield, Texas.

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.
~ Psalm 52:8

Created for Kingdom and global impact long before the foundations of the world, seeds of destiny were planted in me long before I was born. So, what the enemy intended to use to silence me, God used to start a season of new beginnings, despite failures, setbacks, bad decisions, and crushing seasons of loss.

Some of my top strengths are Connectedness, Achiever, Learner, Strategic, and Futuristic. My spiritual gifts are teaching and exhortation. Using my strengths, gifts, and skills, I had enjoyed favour in my professional career and ministry as a people leader and project manager for more than forty years, yet always felt like I was called to something more.

Two years after Mark’s death, I was compelled to become a life coach. To walk alongside Kingdom women and help them become everything God created them to be. First for grieving widows, and now for women in transition.

Becoming rooted and grounded in Abba’s radical love and my identity as His beloved daughter changed my life. It can change yours!
