Welcome
Welcome to my blog—a creative writing space shaped by years of Bible study, lived experience, poetry, memoir, rants, blessings, and everything in between. This is a place where faith meets hardship, where questions are welcomed, and where messy things are gently shaped into something meaningful.
I write from the overflow of both faith and difficulty. Life is hard, and writing is how I process it. Writing is an art form to me—taking disorganized chaos and trying, again and again, to make it beautiful.
I am a preschool teacher, writer, artist, mother, wife, and Christian. I have always loved words: new pens, fresh paper, and the quiet promise of a blank page. I got my first word processor before home computers were common, and that’s when I began writing down thoughts and emotions that felt too heavy to carry on my own.
I live with depression and ADD, and while I don’t claim tidy labels or diagnoses for everything, I do believe honesty matters. This blog is a space for thoughtful faith, lived experience, and imperfect stories. I write about Scripture, teaching, depression, and the places where God meets us when life doesn’t turn out the way we hoped.
My hope is that you will find encouragement here—the “me too” factor. I hope you’ll read something and think, I’m not alone. That there is hope even when you feel crushed, tired, or overwhelmed by life.
You’ll also find a link to my art blog, where I share another side of my creative life.
I live in Massachusetts with my family and our cat, Nana. I invite you to explore. Some posts are long and immersive; others are short and wistful. There’s a lot here. Consider subscribing—I post when I can.
If you want to learn more about a messy childhood, start with my memoirs.
If you’re feeling spiritually dry, read some of my poetry—it still lifts my soul on dark days.
If you’re interested in deeper Bible study, under Devotions you will find commentaries on Exodus , Peter and Jude. .
if you are a visual person check out portraits and biographies of the people I have drawn and their lives!
Wherever you land, I hope you’ll find something creative, honest, deeply thoughtful, and maybe—even quietly—life-changing. Insights about God, yourself, and life are waiting here.
Enjoy, and consider following along.
If something resonates, give it a thumbs up—it encourages me more than you know and helps me keep writing.
