A LITTLE
ABOUT ME...
I have had the honor of being married for the past 30 years to a steady and hilarious man. He balances me out and also reminds me I need to get out of the house (and out of my head) if it has been too long. I get to be mother to 5 pretty incredible humans, ages 18-27, and a bonus daughter through marriage to my son. I have the privilege of being Grandma to 3 precious little ones!
I spent the first part of my journey of motherhood stressed trying to do it perfectly. I am now seeking to live authentically with my children, and others, so they can know the love of the amazing God who created them for purpose in His world. I really want the people in my life to know that!
​
I took the picture of the watering hole at a turning point in my life. I had been living "hidden" for too many years to count. My family and I had just been through a traumatic event (you can listen to my story here), and I finally felt desperate and determined enough to say, “I am not okay.” This picture marks a beginning of sorts- I decided I was done hiding. ​I was "all in". I sought and found help and support to throw off what hinders and live fully the life that I was created to live. I grew in a deeper understanding of who God is and who He created me to be. And I eventually began to risk being truly known by others.

​I am a follower of Jesus. I love discovering new things in the Bible. I enjoy learning about what helps us live in the freedom and purpose for which we were created. I am learning to let go of the things that bind me up and keep me from really living. I love to listen, especially when someone is letting me in on who they really are and what makes them come alive. I LOVE seeing connections in the world and people around me. I love to dream, and a day of music and art is a slice of heaven for me.
I listen and I coach. I consider it a great honor to create a space where people feel seen and can grow. I believe God made me with a passion and propensity to help others discover and live the life they were born to live, their true life.
​
I am so glad you found your way here. I hope to get to know you.
