About me in five words….

Faith: My Christian faith is the centerpiece of my life. My goal is to live a humble and grateful life, loving and serving God and loving and serving people. 

Family: I was a single, working mom for 17 years! This was a stressful and difficult time but my children and I- we were a team. We helped, encouraged and depended on one another and this created a strong bond between us. I am married now and the children are grown but they live nearby and I am so grateful that I get to see them often. I have a sweet grandson, Henry, who is such a joy to me. 

Friends: I value friendships tremendously and I’m intentional about making time to spend with them. 

Flowers: I love flowers! I have 19 rose bushes at my home and roses in our home for months. I also grow zinnias and sunflowers at our church garden to take to a nursing home. 

Food: I love to cook and find new ways of preparing food that is so delicious people can’t believe it’s healthy! I have started a recipe group that meets bimonthly to share whole food planted based dishes and recipes! I would love it if you would join us in this cooking and eating adventure.

Okay one more word…. 

Running: I am a runner. I run with my husband and dear friend, Coach. But I also enjoy running alone outside, enjoying the beauty of nature and just clearing my mind. I get some of my best ideas when I run and I always feel so much better afterwards!
