Finding joy along the journey

“I’m Okay, Mama” is a 2025 Christian Indie Awards Finalist!

Welcome

Life isn’t always easy, and I’m guessing you’ve walked some challenging roads too. This is a space where we pause, reflect, and uncover the joy that God has for us – even in life’s most challenging seasons.

I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed by loss, to face life-altering changes, and to wonder if joy is still possible. I’ve journeyed through widowhood, losing my parents, and sending my children into the world, all while discovering that God’s grace meets us right where we are.

This space is designed to encourage, inspire, and walk alongside you through:

Grieving: Honest reflections on navigating loss and finding hope in the midst of pain.

Growing: Stories of faith, resilience, the beauty of life on a 60-acre farm, and even some pickleball tossed in.

Giving: Insights from caregiving and practical ways to serve and love others.

For way too long, I felt like the Israelites wandering directionless for forty years in the wilderness, paying no heed to God’s bounty and grace, and grumbling all the way. I was busy building my life and future; I overlooked the joy and wonder God intended for us to experience in the here and now – until He made me stop, look, and listen.
