Hey friend! A little more about me…
The beginning…
I’ve always loved an adventure. A new restaurant, a hidden coffee shop, a spontaneous road trip, or just discovering something magical right in my own backyard. I’m someone who loves to begin—new things, new paths, new possibilities. Wonder has always been close by, even in the ordinary.
But somewhere along the way, I put my head down and got to work. Whatever “it” was—motherhood, ministry, goals, responsibilities—it never seemed to end. The to-do list kept growing, and I stopped looking up.
Depression didn’t arrive overnight. It crept in slowly, over years of pushing through without rest, without joy, without connection to wonder—or to the Lord. I had drifted from relationship, from presence, and from peace. And eventually, I found myself lost in the dark.
It wasn’t any one person’s fault. Life just added up. But now, I can say with full honesty—I’m grateful for the journey. I’m thankful I got to go first, so I can walk with others through the hard and the holy.
Because when the Lord healed me, He didn’t just restore what was broken. He handed me a torch. He lit something in me. And He called me back—not just to healing, but to purpose.
Wherever you are is your beginning.
Maybe you’re not ready to leap—just quietly hoping for a nudge.
Maybe you’re not sure how to begin, only that something in you is stirring again. That counts.
I know what it’s like to be in the in-between—to wrestle, to wait, to wonder if God still meets people here.
These words, this work, this calling… they were born right there, in the middle of the mess.
So if you’re searching, questioning, aching for something real—you’re not alone.
You’re already on the way.
My family
I live somewhere between the country and the city—close enough to run to town, far enough out to see the stars and breathe in the quiet. I need space to wander, to get distracted by the simplicity and complexity of unclaimed countryside, and to remember that fresh air can do holy things.
When life feels complicated, you’ll find me stealing moments—jotting down thoughts beneath trees at the edge of lawn and wild creek grass. It’s there I remember to be grateful, and that most things aren’t quite as heavy as they seem. The sky reminds me. It’s bigger than the problem.
It didn’t always feel that way. There were days when the sky felt too big—when I wanted to hide from it. I write because I came out of that darkness. And I know the loneliness of it.
Don’t worry, I’m bringing a lantern.
I married my opposite, and we settled somewhere in the middle. A marriage quiz once gave us a compatibility score of 14—I’m still not sure what number you’re supposed to get. But here we are: somewhere between introvert and extrovert, quiet and loud, traveling and staying. Spaghetti with Italian seasonings and spaghetti with salt and pepper.
The middle used to be hard for me. But I’ve learned that the best things grow there.
We grow when we’re stretched. When we pour out and receive all at once. There’s sacred ground in the middle.
So I pull us out into open skies and unprepared adventures, and my husband reminds me that rest is a commandment worth keeping. “Boring days,” he says, are life-giving. We’ve learned to find the adventure in staying home—losing board games to his strategy, planting gardens, working on yard projects, and laughing at life around our messy kitchen table.
We’re a family of six, spread across two states and two countries.
We have three grown kids and one toddler who keeps us young.
One is studying music technology and theology. One is in Thailand, loving people and serving the Lord. One is nearby, working hard- 3D printing, blacksmithing, and creating. And one is running laps around the living room with a waffle in hand.
I write and coach from home, surrounded by chickens, ducks, garden soil, and whatever project I’ve taken on. Some days, the laundry doesn’t make it out of the basket—but there’s too much life to live to worry about perfect systems.
Here on the other side of healing, we do our best to live it fully.
There’s a lot of joy in the middle.
And a lot of adventure, too.
