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!

Destination: Florida
Life is an adventure, and I'm always up for one! I just returned home, safe and sound, after a road trip through ten states, covering over 3,500 miles...all by myself! It was a memorable adventure, and will be the topic of future blogs, I'm sure! But, for now, just a...
I Am From…
At a recent writing workshop, an 'exercise' was given to 'emulate' a poetry 'form' (I chose the often-emulated "I Am From" by Mary Pipher) .... I am from Arden and Nadine. From Carl and Bertha. From Marvin and Madge Edith. From the wooded hills of Iowa and the flat...
