About/Contact Us



I am a story lover. Stories people share around the dinner table, listening to people in line at the grocery store, novels, dreams, testimonies, and children's books. I love them all.  As a child I did my fair share of daydreaming until my mother said I could no longer simply sit around and think. That's when I began to write. If I was writing it would look more like homework and I would be free to create characters and plots to my heart's content. 

Since those days of pen and lined paper I have graduated to a laptop, though I must say there is something almost magical about the pen and paper way of going about things.

Besides writing I occupy myself by being a companion for a friend in a wheelchair, teaching piano lessons, working on an English BA, and being involved in my church and community. 


Jesus is my best friend. I fail Him often. But He is faithful. 

 Through my writing I want to bring Him glory. God is the Creator and as His image-bearers we are given creativity and imagination. God is truth and as His image-bearers we are to be truthful. My desire is to praise Him and bless others through articles and novels.

Tell the truth beautiful ~ Andrew Peterson

I love music, bike rides, swimming, tea, black licorice, water, visiting random hole-in-the-wall type shops and restaurants, walks, the stars, and visiting friends and family. 

I also love hearing from you! So if you have any questions or ideas please leave a comment under the post.

Maybe It's Supposed to Be Hard

We want a whole, happy, calm life. We want to be healthy. In "crunchie" circles, people use essential oils, grow their own produce, and stop using plastics. In Christian circles, there is an idea, an ideology, gaining ground that presupposes a holistic, restful life is possible if one follows the spiritual disciplines of the desert fathers and mothers. Mysticism. Prayer, scripture, silence, solitude, sabbath, fasting, rest, etc. (If you're looking for a couple interesting reads on this topic you could see these books by Jefferson Bethke and John Mark Comer. ) I want a holistic, happy, balanced life. My kitchen contains wooden cutting boards and loose leaf tea. I begin all my mornings with homemade kombucha, prayer, quiet, and scripture. I do Pilates throughout the week and hold the Lord's Day as holy every Sunday.  And I'm tired. And I'm weary.  And I wonder if that's just how it is in this sin-soaked world as we run to Heaven.  After all, the Spirit tell

4 Ways to Help Single People

It is very likely that not all single people will completely agree with the list I'm about to share with you, because no two people are alike, but I've heard similar things from single people that I follow online and think it will be helpful to share these. If nothing else, let this post lead you to have conversations with the single people in your life and find out what would  be helpful to them.  1. Hug Them I'll admit, I'm not much of a hugger, but a few months ago another woman I follow recommended to her audience that they begin hugging their single friends and I've been thinking about it since. Now (due to a change in my life) I'm seeing certain friends more often than I had been, and I am also receiving more hugs; this is good for me . In particular, it is good for me that one of my guy friends often gives me a hug when I see him. I don't mean that in a sensual sense, I mean it in a brotherly sense. The quick hug he offers tells me that I am seen, I

Being Single is Kind of Like Not Sleeping Through the Night

For as long as you can remember, you have been told that normal people sleep through the night. You've been trained to sleep through the night. The vast majority of your friends sleep through the night. Your entire family sleeps through the night. Everyone at church sleeps through the night. But you don't.  At first, a number of years ago, you were really frustrated about not sleeping through the night, and the frustration was compounded by people consistently asking questions as to your ability to sleep. Have you tried medication? Have you turned all your screens off before bed? Do you exercise? Do you drink caffeine in the afternoon? The fact of the matter is, you do all the things you're supposed to do, but you still wake up in the middle of the night, for apparently no reason.  You're confused and frustrated, so you pray. The next night, when it happens again, you pray. Soon, waking up in the night has changed from a time of frustration to a time of worship and gett
