I am a word weaver, and a truth, beauty and good seeker. I enjoy writing about deep faith, the gift of raising a family, the vocation of marriage and taking long walks while listening for the voice of God. I am a mother, a widow, a daughter, a friend, a shopkeeper, a speaker, and a podcaster. In July 2020 I have had to shift my focus to caring for my husband of 25 years as he battled terminal brain cancer and fought to regain function and strength from a stroke for 33 months. He lived well with eyes fixed on God and joy in his heart, loving and laughing knowing this would be his journey toward eternal life. Verso l’alto. Together we raised a family of 4 children with faith at the center of everything. With this faith and unconditional love, we have guided and encouraged our uniquely individual children to discover who God is calling them to be and we have chosen to allow God to heal a lifetime of wounds along the way.
