To inspire individuals to deepen their relationship with God through honest storytelling, reflective prompts, and spiritual insights that illuminates His presence in the day-to-day.

My ultimate goal is to create a refuge where readers find inspiration, healing, and a renewed sense of God’s presence, transforming their faith journey from routine to deeply personal and alive.

More About Me

If there is one occupation I thought I would never fill, it’s that of being an author. I squeaked by my college English class with a C after countless extra help sessions. After that experience, I never stepped foot in another literary class. But God had another plan.

Writing as a form of sharing my faith began many years ago after attending a retreat. There, I was inspired by a friend who told me that every morning, she woke up early to pray, read scripture, and journal. I thought to myself, I want to do that! And so that is how it all began.

Even though I had sworn off writing earlier in my life, I bought my first journal and began to jot down ideas, thoughts, inspirations, prayers, heartfelt emotions, and whatever else stirred within. These entries would years later become blog posts, and out of those posts, my first book, The Desert Walk, would be born. Fueled by my faith, this passion for writing that developed later in life is just one part of my life.

Outside of writing, I am blessed with a loving husband and three wonderful adult children who have flown the nest. I cherish long walks in the woods and listening to the symphony of nature. Winter days, a warm cup of Earl Grey with a touch of honey, and the scent of wood burning nourish my soul. And lastly, beautiful wild flowers and music bring me great joy.
