I write about the glory of God all around us.  Life is not random as we observe people loving people in despair, refocusing, rebuilding, rewriting, and repairing damage done from cruelty.  Love is driving the universe toward beauty vs. chaos.  Writing is a way of beholding Him in the cosmos and seeing His image in each other.  

 

     As a therapist for 23 yrs., I enjoy identifying problems blocking joy and finding solutions toward peace.  I write to bring clarity to human sadness and discover God's truth which set us free.  Jesus came to bring us His joy, and that it would be full.

 

​     Teens need new vision and invitation to explore who they are in a vast world.  Mission and identity are critical as they enter early adulthood, insecure at the core.  We can point to the goodness of God as they sort the requirements needed to survive and succeed.  Novels with eternal truths, saints' lives, and heroic stories help adolescents realize they are given gifts to benefit others.  Work becomes the dignity of man and leads to vocations for God's glory.  

​

     My passion is to connect the reality of Holy Scripture and Sacred Tradition with our earthly lives.  People need books on inspiration and practical help, not simply worldly wisdom.  The most brilliant theological scholars wrote with divine wisdom and were practical and effective in helping readers.  I'm thankful for the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine of Hippo, and others for devoting their thoughts to reveal for us just the unfathomable riches of knowing God.  

 

      I enjoy our twelve grandchildren to lead me in play and submit to their innocence.  The beautiful wonder in their eyes keeps me fascinated, watching them play with three pygmy goats and fish at the pond.  When we have come full circle, then we will be wise and childlike.  Liturgical ballet has also been a great joy spiritually and body maintenance!
