I’m an artist, a preschool teacher, a Bible enthusiast, and a lifelong lover of words. I write because I always have—because it’s how I make sense of the world, how I tell the truth, and how I stay awake to God’s presence in the middle of an often messy life.
I wrote my first poems at thirteen, long before I knew what I would become. Reading and writing have always been home to me, especially when it comes to conveying spiritual truths about God and Scripture. Over time, that love deepened into a calling—not just to write, but to encourage, question, wrestle, and hope out loud.
As an adult, I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education, a journey that shaped both my teaching and my faith. I currently work as a preschool teacher and hope to write more intentionally about early education in the future—especially about children, learning, and the sacredness of beginnings.
This blog holds two main threads: theology and memoir. You’ll find reflections on the Bible alongside essays drawn from my own imperfect, unfinished story. I write about faith, depression, frustration, and the ache that comes when life doesn’t turn out the way we planned—or prayed. I also live with ADD, which means my thoughts can be fast, scattered, curious, and deeply sincere. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or quietly hopeful in the middle of confusion, you’re not alone here.
I live in Massachusetts, have a family I love, and my children are grown now—another chapter that continues to shape my writing. When I’m not teaching or writing, I’m cooking, creating, drawing portraits (something I began later in life), organizing everything in sight, working out, shopping, or going out to eat. I love beauty, order, imagination, and the simple joy of making something from nothing.
This space is an invitation—to read, to reflect, to struggle honestly, and to find encouragement in Scripture and shared experience.
Thanks for being here. Check out my blog, stay awhile, and feel free to wander through the words.
