I am a wife, mom, granny and freelance writer and photographer living in Washington State Wine Country. I love to write about the amazing things I see, and the brilliant people I meet down the dirt roads of life.
Perspective
It's easy at times to take things, people for granted. It's easy to look and see what we want to see. Instead of taking the time to make sure that what we see is really what is. In the hustle and bustle of life... "I'm fine" seems to be either the answer we give to …
Thanks Giving
Even in 2020 there is much to be thankful for. 2020 has been a dozy, hasn't it? Even without a world wide pandemic it has been hard. Our family lost Tom's dad, and my mom goes further and further into Alzheimer's.. Tom's lost a couple childhood friends... and. well it is all hard. But even …
Wednesday Coffee
For several years now, pre COVID, I have met with my girlfriends on Wednesday mornings for "coffee." Two years into our weekly meetings, one of us came to the group and said that she felt God had laid on her heart to organize a family night of Praise during the Yakima Valley Fair and Rodeo …

FAITH WALKING
I was struck by this photo this morning. I woke up with a full-on panic attack. Literally sitting straight up in bed, out of a dead sleep. In my dreams was the image of a tightrope walker. She had one of those long awkward poles in her hands as she tried to find her balance.... …
A Back Road Reminder
I have recently been reminded of the brilliance that lives and breathes down the back roads of our lives. That "thing" that happens when one finds enough bravery to become the who, they have always wanted to be. When moments are stolen away from the demands of the day. The young police officer who picks …
Wild
There are certain things that still speak to me. Wild things. I hope I never lose track of them. However it doesn't escape me that they become more and more difficult to pursue. I hate that. Less for myself, more so for those that come after me. My girlfriends and I, all of a certain age, …
Y’all….
Just a few short months ago, I was sitting at one of my favorite local coffee shops listening to my friend Melisa share her vision of a "family praise night." We live in the Yakima Valley. A very diverse place. Our every day is a blend of difference and diversity. Her vision was ONE people …
