About Me

So glad you're here!

Do you long for more peace in your mind and heart?  Are you struggling to stay calm in a chaotic world? I used to live in a chronic state of anxiety, fear and depression.  Thank God he sent me mentors who showed me a better path, God's path.  All the secrets of peace-filled living are in God's Word. Our part is to learn them and  encourage each other to walk in them.  And that's why I created this site, to inspire other God-followers.

 

The storms of life used to disconnect me so easily from  peace until it  seemed  distant and impossible.

​

God's Word promises us hope, joy,

peace,   and wisdom, all part of our

inheritance as his children.

​

Troubles, sorrows and challenges conspire against all of us to crush our souls and diminish our lives. I use to allow those things to steal away the beautiful life God designed for me. Anything weighing you down?​​

 

Everyone has stuff but we do not have to allow that stuff to determine our level of peace and joy. 

​

I needed to be reminded of who I am in Christ and learn how to take back peace and joy that life stole from me. God's grace and truth helped me climb up out of deep, deep pit. If God did that for me, he will do if for you too.

​

God wants to shift us from stressed out to calm.

​

He wants to transform us  from worried and fearful to wise and strong. 

​

He wants to teach us how to stop accepting the chaos of culture and become a force for truth and beauty.

​

And what qualifies me to help you with all this?

​

I’ve been partnering with God and other  believers for decades learning how to overcome my natural inner “Eeyore” (the gloomy donkey in Winnie the Pooh). God transformed me from  a chronically depressed nailbiter to a hope-filled peace lover. He longs to do the same for you!

​

Here's some other bits you might like to know about me. 

​

I’ve enjoyed creating order and beauty since I was a kid working in my family’s floral shop.​

​

My war to hold onto peace has been fought on battlefields of chronic illness, depression, financial setbacks, job loss, death of loved ones and life’s general troubles.

​​

I am a writer, wife, mother, and Nana who enjoyed several career paths as a minister of music, floral designer, and a high school Vocal Music and English teacher.   I love studying God's Word, writing, gardening, reading, and leaving a wake of order and beauty behind me wherever I go. ​

​

I'm so glad you landed here where you can join me and others who seek peace in the haze of chaos.
