Nothing Beats a Great Story

 
 

Stories that

*Meet us where we are,
*Show we’re not alone, and
*Give us hope

Because sometimes we wear the superhero cape . . .
and sometimes we can’t even find our shoes.

                            Stories that

                      *Meet us where we are
                      *Show we’re not alone

                      *Give us hope

              Because sometimes we wear the superhero cape . . .
           and sometimes we can’t even find our shoes.

Here's a fun example...

All she wants is a trouble-free weekend. But her cow and her grumpy neighbor apparently have other plans.

It’s no secret—I would rather write than sleep.

I love how stories have the power to both celebrate our joys and express our deepest longings. 

Like me, my characters aren’t perfect. They’re authentic, struggling with doubts, fears, cravings, and sometimes just plain clumsinessTrue-to-life with a touch of humor. I want my stories to stir the heart, shining light in dark places and hope in the mayhem.

So with thirty-four years of teaching experience, whether I’m writing, speaking, or coaching, I enjoy combining my passion for storytelling with my fervor for helping others bloom. 

And as a mother of five adult children and wife to “Tall-dark-and-handsome,” I also love reading, singing, playing with my golden retrievers, wearing flip-flops, and just trying to stay ahead of the ideas in my brain.

Born and raised in the South, I now live in Wisconsin and love it–-except for the fifteen months of winter.

When I’m not teaching or writing,– 

Who am I kidding? My husband and five kids say I’m ALWAYS teaching or writing. 

But I also love reading, singing, creating art, wearing flip-flops, playing with my golden retrievers, and just trying to stay ahead of the stories in my brain.
