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!

A Pueblo Indian Blessing
Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands alone. Hold on to what you must do even if it’s a long way from here. Hold on to life even if it’s easier letting go. Hold on to my hand even when I...
Purge!
To purge or not to purge - THAT is the question! And, the answer is.........? PURGE! With gusto! It’s what you do when you’ve lived in the same house for 33 years, and you’re planning to move. It’s definitely time to downsize. It's time to get rid...
