I’ve struggled with confidence due to physical and verbal abuse as a child. Then as I grew older, I hid from the world, and I didn’t talk to many people. I stayed to myself. 

I didn’t know the Lord could use brokenness and turn it into beauty. My books are designed to add strength to your life. To help you find your way. I want to remind you that you’re fearfully and wonderfully created in Christ.

Thankfully, God opened my eyes and heart to fight for freedom and stand for truth, and He gave me beauty for ashes. 

I’m an author, speaker, and encourager. I love to laugh. To read. To write. To talk. Not necessarily in that order. But always in each day.

I write mysteriesdevotionalsministry books, and children’s books. I love words. And stories. Those two things have created the books I’ve written. Each book gives way to hope, peace, and reminds you to persevere.

Invite me to your church, retreat, or group setting. I love to take you on road trips of the heart with my storytelling as I challenge you to make a difference in today.

Learning about our Savior is where we find our voice! And our peace! Trusting in Him is the basis for living with joy!

Words Give Way to Life

I’ve written an inspirational column for newspapers spanning 25 years and volunteered for 11 years, teaching/holding a church service for ladies in drug/alcohol rehab. Prior to that, I served 24 years as a children’s church teacher where my love for others grew with each lesson I taught.

I’ve journaled and blogged since I was in my twenties, capturing stories to convey to others. Even today, I use Facebook to paint hope on hearts.

Yes, that’s my twin sister, Melody, in the photos with me. I’ve sat on my sister a lot from what I’ve heard. But no matter what, we’re best friends!
