For the Love of Dog

January 31, 2024

I joke that my dog, Roo, is my spirit animal. Maybe I’m not really joking, that I feel a connection deep enough I’m convinced that he “gets” me better than most. He and his 12 year old standard poodle brother, Kai, get gifts at Christmas (a squeaky stuffed toy in the shape of an arm…

Faith at Christmas

December 23, 2023

I was pregnant for the first time almost twenty years ago. That pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage. Many months of trying later we were told we had a less than 1% chance to conceive on our own and we were referred to a specialist with a multi-month waiting list. In that wait, I was…

Summer’s Sweet Sorrow

July 25, 2023

I am sentimental for a basket of garden veggies. Maybe it’s the proof of a waning summer that makes me melancholy. The cicadas are buzzing and every morning feels a smidge cooler than the one before. Last fall was packed with a lot of activity; am I ready to roll with a similar one and…

About Me

Words weave stories that bring people together, stories that shine God’s light in dark places, stories that redeem, uplift and inspire. With a courtship that began at the age of three (spelling cheese “chee-e-z” from my older brother’s word list), I have been in love with words nearly my entire ...
