Hello, Friends! Welcome to my little corner of the world. I'm a writer and blogger. I love spending quiet mornings in my cottage-themed studio or on my front porch writing or journaling. I live on a mountainside where the woodpeckers are taking over the land. I love mountain life and sharing my backyard with birds, deer, an occasional bear, and other interesting creatures who stop in for a visit. When I'm not writing, I like to indulge in my hobby of nature photography. I'm an imperfect Christian woman, but I'm thankful for God's amazing grace that saved a mess like me. I pray the words I pen will glorify God and the photos I capture will reflect the splendor of His awesome creation. I pray you find some encouragement and inspiration here, as we walk the journey of life and faith together.

Real Womanhood

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30)

Favorite Quote

Ink on paper is as beautiful to me as flowers on the mountains; God composes, why shouldn’t we?
