I LOVE kids!  I love how I can really be myself around them.  I love encouraging and praising kids for the gold I see in them!  I love doing art projects and developing creativity in children.  I love that I can be silly and free with kids.

I LOVE being a Mom!  Nothing in this world could give me more Purpose or Joy, stretch me beyond previous limitations, refine me more, or overflow my heart with true, Unconditional LOVE.  We sing silly songs that rhyme everyday in our home.  Our life is a musical!

I LOVE being married to my Man!  He is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, the best Daddy ever, and Forever my Best Friend!  I love writing songs with Josh!  I love partnering with him to overcome my weaknesses and grow.  He is a constant encourager and a Warrior for my healing!

I have struggled with Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 14 years old.  After 20 years of tremendous ups and downs, I am happy to proclaim a steady Joy, birthed from Thankfulness and Purpose, a Joy that sustains itself no matter how much pain I feel. This is a recent and welcome Phenomenon! I have had healings and miracles!  I have a deep Faith that gets me through each day.

I am learning to DREAM again.  Getting my books out is a dream that I will keep on dreaming and speaking over my life.  I have many poems and stories to share.
