Beauty
When there is the sense of overwhelming situations, find beauty from within. As the bird can perch where it will, so can you, even in the most difficult situation – and stay calm. Talk to God, sing to Him and he will help you right where you are. ~ peace be still ~ calm the…

Combing through life
Do any of you recognize this “Farrah Fawcett” comb from the 70’s? The old adage, they don’t make things like they used ta, still holds true. I bought this comb back around 1977- ish- give or take a year, when I had the “Farrah Farrah” fluffy, layered long hair look. It worked for me. Not…

Are you feeling scorched today?
It’s been hot, here in Chicago this summer. Currently, we are in the middle of the summers heat; temperatures are well into the nineties. The warmth rises from the depths of the ground.

Genesis… the beginning
While writing Forever Hope, (released February 13, 2020 on Amazon), it was evident God wanted me to share my story. It’s raw, real, simple and to the point. I will admit, there was a bit of arguing with God while writing the manuscript over those twelve months. I didn’t mind sharing the facts, but the…

Forever Hope ~ Launch February 2020
It’s quite exciting to launch a new book. In less than two years, I wrote my “story”. A story where the “genesis” (new beginnings) began. A place where an insecure, girl came to know the promises of Jesus Christ. The One who kept me safe. Taught me how to live, what to stay away from,…
