About

I love people and deeply love God. I adore authentic and simple, and the beautifully genuine things in life.

I believe we all have a story worth telling. I have the privilege of sharing stories in written words.

One of my greatest joys can be summed up over a cup of hot tea while sitting in a remote village on the other side of the world. It’s an honor to be invited into the lives of others—if only for brief moments in time.

I find equal measures of joy right here at home. Where I’m surrounded by a myriad of beautiful people.

I’ve been married to my husband for the last 37 years and together we are blessed with five children, 10 grandchildren and three great grandsons. Some of the richest blessings I’ve been gifted with on this side of eternity call me “mom” & “grandma.” 

I enjoy family & friends, camping, kayaking, my boxer dog Ruby, my horses, traveling, and the beauty we are surrounded with in the Pacific Northwest.

I’m especially fond of the broken, bruised, and battered, for that is where diamonds are mined.

“I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light.”
