Hi, friend! Thank you so very much for coming to check out my page! For those who don’t know me yet, I want to share my story and my hopes with this space. I’m a happy lady, wife to my awesome husband, Patrick, and mama to four not-so-tiny people…now ages 14, 12, 9, and almost-7. I’m a speech pathologist… Read More
It was Albert Einstein who said, “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” I earnestly believe there are no chance encounters or random acts in life.

Reflections from life on the road!!! Hi, friends!! It’s been a minute since I’ve written on here. The pandemic was a long, strange trip for everyone and I felt like the words that usually tumble out of my heart and mind just simply wouldn’t come. A few months ago, my husband, Patrick, found himself in the midst of a job… Read More
