Walk in freedom and passion for life
Homeless Hearts – Coming Soon For many years I worked on this book, Homeless Hearts. I’m still working–editing and rewriting. This isn’t a book about physical homelessness, but about the heart condition that keeps people on the street long-term and, ironically, the same conditions that keep the rest of us living with a homeless heart […]
Mediocrity, status quo, ordinary life. Whatever I call it, I don’t want to live in it. Many years ago, I struggled with the way my life looked. I dragged out of bed every morning, jumping on a hamster wheel of ordinary days, filled with the same things over and over – and over again. No […]
Life changes. Pure and simple. Changes happen in every life. They may come often or rarely, and every one of us handles changes differently. My life changes story June 2015, I left a corporate job to pursue writing full time. I planned that change, saved for it and waited patiently for my last day to […]
Habits, good and bad, take a minimum of 21 days to form. Given 30 days, a habit becomes more likely to stick. I used to be consistent with my posts. Somehow, I got out of the habit. I’m not sure why that happened. Taking on too many projects. Getting lazy. Making other things a priority. […]

Waiting for answered prayers seldom comes easily. I love the immediate yes answer. And I can handle a no answer. But wait and trust… Seriously? Wait and trust? What does that even mean? Psalm 37 is a great place to look at this. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Makes sense. Sounds […]
Mother’s Day came and went. For me a bittersweet day, having my kids, but missing my mother. In spite of all the imperfections, I never doubted her love for me. In her last years, she kept two books nearby. One my sister wrote and the other, I did. When anyone entered the room, she proudly […]
With all of the rain, hedges in front of my house had tons of green leaves. Growing, thriving—almost ready to burst out with fragrant white flowers. One problem. They attacked me every time I walked past them. Overgrown and misdirected, branches shot in every direction grabbing hold of ankles and bodies. Walking from my front […]
This past weekend I attended a wonderful event – A Time to Flutter. At the end of our time together on Saturday, we held a Monarch butterfly release. If you never experienced a butterfly release, put it on your bucket list. Butterflies don’t all behave the same way. Some move very slowly, waiting and waiting […]
