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!

That Glimpse of Life, Within…
He’s a giant! Always a great believer in the power of a positive attitude! Ornery, and full of spunk! I remember – in years past - whenever he was asked how he was doing, his standard response was “if I was any better, I’d be twins!” Full of spunk, and equally full of...
