About the Author

My two memoirs, which have a Christian theme, are about the extraordinary events that have occurred in my ordinary life through my faith in God. How does a woman from a stable Christian home go off on so many self-defeating detours and how does she come back home again? I will show how  hope has transformed, healed and helped me transcend my life’s obstacles and disappointments: divorce, two failed marriages, one alcoholic and one abusive spouse, single-parenting, alcoholic son, cancer and heart failure.

The story is how I climbed out of the abyss to find peace, joy and healing in my life; how I learned to live life on my own terms.

Along with sharing my writing journey with you, I want to reach out and share how hope works in my life and to hear how it works in your life. We are all strengthened and enlightened when we share our stories. Perhaps, it will help you find your own pathway to hope and healing.

The blog passed its nine-year mark in December 2018. I post weekly on a variety of topics related to writing and life and I love to feature other writers in guest posts.

I  retired as a  family nurse practitioner  in 2011 after forty-four years as a registered nurse. My husband, Wayne and I have a blended family of six children, ten grandsons, ages 10-32, one granddaughter, age, three-years old  and our Golden Retriever, Max. We live on the 135-acre land that used to be Wayne’s grandfather’s dairy farm where he grows organic vegetables. Life is good.

My first memoir, Ever Faithful to His Lead: My Journey Away From Emotional Abuse was published on July 28, 2014. My goal for 2019 is to publish my second memoir, Just the Way He Walked: A Mother’s Story of Healing From Cancer and Her Son’s Alcohol Addiction about my faith journey through simultaneous battles of cancer and an addicted son.

I will be sharing more about that as it unfolds for me. I know I will be enriched and enlightened by your presence on my journey and I hope you will feel the same. I am looking forward to our discussions along the way.

Hope matters.

Let’s talk~
