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!

Mama’s Hands
They held me as a newborn, as she praised God for the little girl she’d so desperately prayed for, and nearly lost. They fed and clothed and cared for me as a little girl who was so blessed to call her mine. They disciplined me when I chose wrong over right, always...
Something Added…
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about life, and growing older! (Did I say that? Old? Me? Nah! Can't be!) It's funny - well, maybe not - when you come to the realization that you have less years AHEAD than in your PAST! I'm there. How about you? I've noticed that...
Autumn Blessings
I love trees! I really love trees! I love trees in the spring time when they introduce themselves with monochromatic hues - each species showing off its own unique shape and tone - signaling the end of cold weather! I love trees in the summer as they provide shade,...
