I believe in God’s grace and the pursuit of beauty.
I’m an adoptive mom, a happy wife, a passionate cook, a devoted horse-girl, a country mouse, an Oregonian, a lover of live music, hot coffee, good wine and hearty laughter.
My essays and children’s book have won multiple awards, but I don’t write to win - I write to understand.

I try to offer as much free writing as possible, so if you can afford a subscription, please consider upgrading to paid. This helps me write more and shares my work with those who cannot afford to pay.
“Had my credentials been in order I would never have become a writer. Had I been blessed with even limited access to my own mind there would have been no reason to write. I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means.”
- Joan Didion
