I seem to remember that I always have had either a book or a pencil in my hand. Books and words have always been my friends. As I have gotten older I now have a book or a pen and paper nearby and having a computer helps. Having these items close by are comforting to me.

I have never met a used bookstore I haven't liked. I attempt to listen for the Lord's direction and write from my heart. I have finally come to realize my purpose i life is to write what is on God's heart and encourage people with it. I am attempting to share my peace and the path I continually walk with the Lord and even thought life is not easy it can be done. I wish to show others the beauty of Christ and to show them that we are to be living expressions of His life.

I live in the beautiful state of Alaska with my family. I have been married for 25 years.My husband and I are foster parents to girls. We have three children: two boys and a girl. We are full-time college students. I tend to be annoyingly optimistic. I enjoy reading, writing, blogging and photography.

I write inspirational poetry which I write with the help of the Holy Spirit for the lost and broken souls of humanity. I try to be transparent, uplifting and encouraging with my words. I write about the beauty and simplicity of life. I want through the written word to reveal the beauty of Christ to these broken souls
