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!

Sticks and Stones…
Do you ever wonder about the power of words in the ears of a child? Words are more powerful than many imagine. Especially the negative ones! "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!" If you're from my 'era', you heard that growing up -...
My ‘Whys’!
Habits are hard to break! The "will" is a strong thing! And, change is difficult. In this, the first month of the year, there are many who are, most likely, expressing those same thoughts if they made New Year's Resolutions, or lifestyle changes. We've all been...
