I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, a choreographer of dancing words, a challenger of the status quo, an admirer of all things colorful, and a lover of life who finds great comfort and joy in knowing I’m completely adequate to do whatever it is God calls me to do! I’m a wife to one, mom to two, grandma to five, and I live in the middle of the United States of America with my husband, and a cat named Mufasa who believes he owns our home!
My hope is you’ll find inspiration, encouragement, truth, and even a bit of humor in my words penned in this blog!

It's December 4, 2020. I'm curious...is your Christmas decor glitzy or farmhouse or chic or traditional? Have you ever considered how to describe your style? I guess I'm eclectic. I've done all of the above at one time or another, and you'll see it in my nativities as...
Creche Countdown – Day Three
It's Day Three of the Creche Countdown (but I guess I'm counting UP). December 3, 2020. Still flip-flop weather for me yesterday, but there's a weather change in store for central Kansas with snow (though not as much as once predicted) and colder temps. Next week...
Creche Countdown – Day Two
It's December 2nd, 2020. Masks are mandated. Numbers are rising. Beds are scarce. But questions, suppositions, and theories continue to be thrown around like the leaves which so recently scattered in the frantic winds of central Kansas. People are no longer...
