Despite years of twists and turns, multiple tragedies and marriages, I have been the recipient of joys and blessings that have far surpassed anything I could ever have imagined. Because of those experiences, I have a big heart to love and forgive. I truly desire to search for the good in everyone and everything.
What has remained constant throughout the ups and downs is my passion for creative pursuits, particularly my zeal to write.
I readily recall jotting in my childhood diary notes like "We went roller skating today," and "John Kohls said he loved me. Yuck!" Then, in my teens and twenties, I wrote songs filled with angst, played my guitar, and thought entirely too much about boys. (Please tell me you can relate.)
Thankfully…
God took hold of my heart and showed me personally who He is and how He works. My written words began to transform into those of a woman who yearns to encourage and inspire, to share hope and healing with a dash of humor. Likely because of my many losses, I have been led to write books about heaven and angels and the grace of God because who doesn’t need hope and love and a little forgiveness every now and then?
In addition to books…
my journals of the past twenty years have become a vast collection of my personal prayers for family, friends, and the world at large, as well as places for sporadic rants on days when I feel exhausted and overwhelmed. Thankfully we have a God who can handle anything and who understands our humanity.
As we continue to walk this journey called life together, I wish for you every good thing.
I hope to meet you online, at a Book Club or Author Signing, or on the street as I scour flea markets and craft shops for creative ideas. You see, when I’m not writing, my amateur interior decorator comes out. My husband never knows what I’ll be creating and hanging on the walls next!
Until we meet,
I will sit with my laptop in my cozy office upstairs where the pear tree waves outside the large mullioned window, and I will fill pages with whatever words I am led to write because I want to entertain, encourage and inspire you, and because…
I just love to write.
