I reside in the Midwest with my husband, James, and daughter, whom I homeschool. I enjoy spending time with my son and daughter-in-law and snuggling with my twin grandsons. In addition to faithfully working to instill godly character in my own children, I have mentored teens and young women for most of my Christian life. Over the years I have led and been involved in various prayer ministries. I can often be found in my garden tending vegetables and herbs or in the kitchen creating something delicious and healing with them. Being a licensed massage therapist allows me to come alongside people on their journey toward health. I find great joy in helping people live healthy lives spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. 

Becoming an author was a dream I never knew I had. I've always enjoyed writing, but teaching my own children to write well grew my passion and refined my abilities. When God began nudging me to take all I had learned and applied with my kids regarding cultivating Christ-like character, I fought back a little at first. I knew absolutely nothing about publishing a book! As He usually does in my life, God won, I submitted, and Off with the Old, On withe the New was born. What an adventurous journey it has been!
