Walk in freedom and passion for life
COVID-19 may sneak up and claim my life. It’s possible – though not likely. I don’t take this illness lightly. Despite a good immune system, I self-isolated almost two weeks ago, spending the majority of time at home. As a diabetic, I don’t want to risk my health. Fortunately, I work from home anyway. So […]
After many years, starts and stops, I am finally almost finished. By this time tomorrow, if all goes as planned, Homeless Hearts will be available for purchase. I’m thrilled to be almost finished with this project and excited about seeing what comes next. Most of all, I’m excited to share the things God gave me […]
Resurrection Sunday, more commonly referred to as Easter, passed more than a week ago. Then why am I writing about it now? Because Jesus’ death on the cross wasn’t the end. Jesus rising from death began something amazing, and the reality and purpose of it linger long beyond one day. As I reflected on Easter […]
On Thanksgiving Prep Day I like to call today Thanksgiving prep day. Tomorrow is the actual holiday, but as I prepare for tomorrow with baking, cleaning – all that stuff we women tend to do, I am thankful. Thanksgiving should never be one day a year though.

Life changes. Pure and simple. Changes happen in every life. They may come often or rarely, and every one of us handles changes differently. My life changes story June 2015, I left a corporate job to pursue writing full time. I planned that change, saved for it and waited patiently for my last day to […]
Waiting for answered prayers seldom comes easily. I love the immediate yes answer. And I can handle a no answer. But wait and trust… Seriously? Wait and trust? What does that even mean? Psalm 37 is a great place to look at this. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Makes sense. Sounds […]
Mother’s Day came and went. For me a bittersweet day, having my kids, but missing my mother. In spite of all the imperfections, I never doubted her love for me. In her last years, she kept two books nearby. One my sister wrote and the other, I did. When anyone entered the room, she proudly […]
This past weekend I attended a wonderful event – A Time to Flutter. At the end of our time together on Saturday, we held a Monarch butterfly release. If you never experienced a butterfly release, put it on your bucket list. Butterflies don’t all behave the same way. Some move very slowly, waiting and waiting […]
