We all have a story to tell…. and all of our stories have gravitas.

So, what is the setting to MY story?

Well, I am an artist, closet introvert, wordsmith, and lover of Christ who resides in beautiful, Southern Illinois with my husband and five children. While I’m mostly parenting my kids, -honestly now I have been blessed with FIVE children- I also strive to faithfully serve my church and community.

I am a classical teacher, turned homeschool mama, who loves gardening and all things homestead (though I currently live in town. That’s ok, right?) As with most large families, I am always cooking and love to {EAT} I mean-minister through food. I have a deep love of art in all its mediums, but especially textiles and photography. While I am an avid reader of the Classics, I will never turn down a good dystopian tale.

Most recently, and without the aid of counseling, I have come to terms with my love of a good lap cat and can even admit my amusement at their standoffish personalities….but to each their own.

I have a long history of performance in music, art, and public speaking which has produced both awards and unique opportunities, but my real passion is found in discipleship. It is my great joy to see others grow in their love of God and the scriptures by learning to cultivate spiritual disciplines.

Are you ready to grow together?
