Our First Cup of Coffee

HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I am a wife to a man I love dearly and the mother of a little girl that makes our life sparkle, sometimes quite literally with glitter. I’d choose the country over the city any day and camping over the beach every time. I love the energy of New York City, the cobble stone streets of Europe and the sun-kissed beaches of Hawaii; but the mountains, valleys, rivers and lakes of the Pacific Northwest whisper and tug at my soul, feel the most like home, and will always be my favorite destination. 

I believe we are made for more than just doing what makes us happy. I believe in living a life that glorifies God and blesses others. I believe in spreading joy everywhere I go and I strive to leave people and places better than I found them. As a family we are rooted by our faith in Christ, guided by God's Word and driven to share the truth of His perfect love. We're not perfect and life can be messy, but His blessings are bountiful and my soul and my voice can't help but sing His praises (and if you sit in front of us in church, I apologize right now... my singing voice is not one of my gifts).

I am a writer and speaker passionate about encouraging Christian women to grow lives that grow God's Kingdom. I believe in the right to life, am an accidental minimalist and live with my husband and daughter on my family's cattle ranch in far Northern California.
