Here’s the tea (and I mean that literally because I’m probably sipping my morning cup right now). I’m both hurricane and sunshine, your ride or die.
Life at my place? A cozy corner with scented candles and a fire burning on cloudy days, because ambiance matters! I’m living the gluten-free life (getting older makes this matter too, trust me), but I’ve mastered the art of survival with my secret weapon: Coke Zero and a splash of regular Coke. If you know, you know.
The real stars of the show? Spock, my Golden Retriever (yes, I’m a proud Star Trek AND Star Wars nerd – tell me I’m wrong!) Twix, my bunny – who hopped into our hearts thanks to my youngest, Levi. Speaking of kids, grab a seat because this family tree has some branches! Three biological kiddos, one amazing adopted child, and six fantastic stepchildren. It’s chaos, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Saving the best for last — Gary (be still my heart). We were married in September 2023. My kids say he’s the ice to my fire and the calm to my storm. I say he is my best yes!
The truth is – I’m here to share life’s messy, beautiful journey with you. The sweet and spicy of it all. Whether you need a shoulder to cry on, a kick in the pants or someone to share a laugh with – I’ve got you.
That’s what a big sister is for, right?
Jesus and I? We’ve been through some stuff together. I spent 23 years in a marriage that hung on about ten years too long, leading to some pretty dark days. Trauma, betrayal, and mental health struggles? Been there. I’ve navigated life as a married single mom, faced the heartbreak of losing custody of my daughter, battled cancer, and learned to live with an autoimmune disease. But through it all, I found love again, remarried, and created a beautiful, blended family that I wouldn’t trade for the world.
Here’s one thing I know for sure: God loves you, and His love is bigger and brighter than anything life throws your way. Maybe you’ve heard it before, but my hope is that as we walk this journey together, you’ll truly feel how deep, wide, and immeasurable His love is for you.
