Hey friend! A little more about me…
The beginning…
I’ve always loved to find adventures to go on. A new restaurant, coffee shop, road trip, place to see or just adventures in my own backyard. I love starting new things and seeing the wonder in something I’ve missed before.
Somewhere along the way, I started putting my head down to get it done. Whatever “it” was, I never seemed to find the end of my to-do list. Depression wasn’t overnight, I don’t think– but years of “getting it done” without finding joy, rest, wonder, or peace–and worse, separating from relationship with the Lord, led to quite a firm depression.
It wasn’t any one person or situation’s fault, and I am thankful now for the journey. I am thankful that I got to go first, and that the Lord healing me and bringing me out the other side of it left me with a torch. He didn’t just heal me and leave me, He healed me and called me back.

Wherever you are is your beginning.
I remember someone saying this to me in the process… I couldn’t hear it then, but it stood out. We know logically there is a “day one” but what I didn’t know was that wanting to want to start is different than, “ready to go.”
My family

I live somewhere between the country and city. Close enough to run to town, but far enough out to see the sky and find some quiet space. I need to wander, get distracted by the simplicity and complexity of unclaimed countryside, and breathe open air.
When things feel a little complicated, you’ll find me stealing moments hidden away in the trees at the edges of lawn and wild creek grass to jot down ideas and impressions, looking for gratitude and a reminder that things are usually much less heavy than they seem. There is something about the sky being bigger than the problem. It didn’t used to feel that way, there were days the sky was too big and I needed to hide from it. I write because I came out of a 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. The marriage “compatibility quiz” put us at a 14, though I’m not sure what number compatible is. 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 of things used to be a struggle for me but I’m learning that the best things come from the middle, from being stretched, and from doing things a different way.


We grow best in the middle, growing and receiving from someone while pouring out to someone else. There is sacred space in the middle. So I pull us out into the open and new adventures (often before we are prepared for it), and my sweet husband reminds me that rest is a commandment we should keep. “Boring days” are beneficial and life-giving. We find the adventure of staying home and growing connection, the long list of games lost to his strategy, and working on yard projects together.
My family of six lives in two states and two countries.

We have three grown children and one toddler who keeps us young. I love watching where life takes each of them, and how their gifts and unique outlooks create beauty and joys in ways I never anticipated.
One in college for music technology and theology, one in Thailand loving people and serving the Lord, one closer to home creating and crafting, and one running circles around the living room with a waffle in hand.
I write and coach from home, and keep busy with our chickens & ducks, garden, baking and whatever project I’ve taken on. We have a messy table and laundry that never makes it out of the basket some days, but there is so much life to live that here on the other side of healing, we give it our best to live it fully. We have a lot of fun here in the middle; there’s so much adventure to find.

Hey there, I am a certified Christian Life Coach through Life Mentoring School, and I will be Master Certified in June. I have been involved with Inner Healing and Prayer ministry for six years and have taken several courses through Orbis Ministries and Global Prophetic Alliance. I love to read, learn, and share as I go. My favorite thing is to learn from those who have walked a path before me. Testimonies are so valuable!
