WELCOME
Hi! So glad you decided to visit!
If you’re seeking something different than what you see in the headlines – come hang out with me.
Check out what I have to say in “Speaking Joyfully.”
Maybe you’ll be encouraged. Perhaps you’ll be inspired.
Hopefully you’ll smile.
Life IS better when it’s FULL…
JOY-full, THANK-full, PURPOSE-full and FRIEND-full!

Who am I?
I’m a woman of faith. A wife. A friend. A writer. An encourager.
A military spouse – “once a military spouse, always a military spouse.”
But, I’ve got lots of “formers” too.
Former journalist, broadcaster, advocate, advertising agent, sales and marketing manager, organizational leader, and non-profit executive.
Former Size 4 (Oops, how did that get in there? And, how did those extra sizes get in me?)
But as Ralph Waldo Emerson said,
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
I like that.
Add "Joy" to your event!
