Daily life can take you on a wild rollercoaster of twists, turns, thrills and disappointments. And sometimes trauma hits home, washing away the very foundation on which you’ve built your life. Finding Peace Through Gratitude will help you navigate the waters of uncertainty. Rather than life controlling you and your emotions, you can control the… Continue reading Coming January 1st!

Happy Thanksgiving
I participated in a craft and vendor show this past weekend at Harvest Fellowship Church, manning a table with my books. A writer friend of mine was there as well, her table next to mine. I'd been waiting a long time for this event, as it always promises to be a wonderful time and sets… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
A Rich Abundant Life
This past weekend I was fortunate to attend a women’s retreat through my church. Typically, when I get home from work in the evenings I long to stay in my home office with my computer, or at least within the walls of my home with my dogs and my husband. On weekends, I don’t venture… Continue reading A Rich Abundant Life
The Present of Presence
The best lessons come from the most difficult trials, the most significant growth from when we’re at our lowest. When we’re filled with pride, the inevitable fall is hard. And so painful. But with humility comes peace. Yet It never ceases to amaze me that like the monster it is, pride rears its ugly head time and… Continue reading The Present of Presence
Finding Peace Through Gratitude
Writing fiction has always been my passion. Mysteries, cozy mysteries, suspense, contemporary fiction, it doesn't matter. I love getting lost in the land of make believe, creating characters, settings, and stories, living vicariously through them. And when I read a story, it's all about being transported into the world of which I'm reading, feeling like… Continue reading Finding Peace Through Gratitude
Food Detoxing

But it’s a topic that has made such an enormous difference in my life that I have to share. Feed Detoxing. From as far back… Continue reading Food Detoxing
The Company We Keep
Even though it's not Wednesday, I had to sneak in an extra post. This morning as I was running around Lake Estes in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado, my thoughts circled around who I am today, who I was, and who I want to be. Thank God--literally--that I'm not who I was, that I'm finally comfortable… Continue reading The Company We Keep
Beauty in Brokenness
I spent a lot of time in nature this past weekend and marveled, as usual, in all of its splendor. The perfect creations as well as the stunning beauty in the broken. And I started thinking...wouldn't it be wonderful if we appreciated people as we do nature, in all of their brokenness and all of… Continue reading Beauty in Brokenness
The Season for Gratitude
During this holiday season, cultivating an attitude of gratitude is at the top of my to-do list. Family is top of the top, hands down. After family, my top 10 for 2016 is: 10.) Election season being over! Nationally as well as locally. My day job is in a political office, which makes election season ultra stressful.… Continue reading The Season for Gratitude
Authors Supporting Authors
This past Saturday I was fortunate to be a part of book event at Welcome to the Bookstore with some author friends. There was a scavenger hunt, trivial pursuit, author readings, refreshments, drawings, and a whole lot of camaraderie with some amazing authors. I'm equally fortunate to have found such an amazing writer's group to… Continue reading Authors Supporting Authors
