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 beautifully ~ 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.

Back in Time

I pulled into the laneway of a home that I'm sure would have looked quaint if I could have seen it through all the trees. The sign by the road read "hanging baskets and railroad ties" and lo and behold that was just what I was looking for (I mean the railroad ties, not the hanging baskets).  I parked close to the grass incase a buggy had to get by and slipped out of the red mini van. I didn't see anyone. That, however, does not mean that someone did not see me. I strolled over to look at the flowers to wait for someone to come out and see what the crazy girl with the pony-tail was doing on their property. A large dog, missing his right eye, managed to find me first and it was while I was petting this friendly, half blind, beast that the house seemed to spit out a young lady. She was wearing a long dress, an apron, and a head covering. She walked toward me with a smile and I recognized her from a singing I had gone to at the neighbors place a few months earlier. I ...

Hope in Sadness

 The Lord graciously made me with a happy disposition. My natural bent is joy. A couple years ago, however, something happened that shattered my heart. Due to the extreme emotional hurt, I was physically ill. I cried every day for weeks, then a couple times a week for months. For a long time I was sad. For years, the truest, deepest emotion I felt was sadness. When you live with sadness you get pretty good at carrying on. You live your normal life but where the world used to be full of colour, now your life is tinted by grief. If someone asked "how are you?" I could honestly say "good" because I was walking closely with God, but if someone had asked "how do you feel?" I would have had to reply "sad."  Psalm 66 became the theme of my emotional experience. "You brought us through fire and through water, you laid a crushing burden on our backs."  That's how I felt.  All the time.  Surrounded by fire and water, often burdened beyond wha...

Gifts; A Joyful Face

I sat at the booth and checked my phone to make sure my friend knew where to find me. She had just parked and was walking over. Perfect. I ordered a cup of tea and was contentedly sipping on it when she entered. Seeing me immediately, she made a beeline for our table, took her seat, and looked up.  Her face was filled with joy as she asked how I was.  "I'm good," I said, slightly amused. "Why are you so happy?" "Oh," she shrugged. "I just am."  "I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices." ~Psalm 16:8-9a "As in water face reflects face, so the heart of a man reflects the man." ~Proverbs 27:19 Amidst all the sorrow and anger and fighting of our broken world this woman's face stood out. The joy in her eyes reflected the joy of her heart; a heart that had spent time with Jesus.  Throug...
