Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog!
A Little About Me
Like many northwest residents, I love exploring outdoors. Boating, swimming, hiking, and biking are some of my favorite activities.
Fond memories growing up include: family gatherings, horseback riding, competing in gymnastics, basketball, and volleyball with friends.
God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and three fun-loving kids. My two boys are now married and my daughter is about to begin her college journey, which will leave us as empty nesters. I’m happy-sad about this change – happy for my kids who are growing into productive, God-loving adults; sad that my babies are leaving. But God has this, so I know it will all be okay. 🙂
Speaking of changes, I’m taking a breather from writing posts, although I’m keeping my WordPress blog open. I’ve been passionate about Fine Art Photography for several years now and have just opened a storefront on Etsy with some of my pictures. You may find my store in the following link, (I use my married last name).
I’m thankful for my upbringing. My parents not only lived out their faith, but also took my brother, sister and me to church. This is where I learned God’s truth and love for people. At the age of four, I accepted Jesus as my Savior. He continues to teach and challenge me to embrace His ways and abundant life.
God laid it on my heart several years ago to write/blog what He has taught me through Bible study, relationships, and/or circumstances. He has been so good and faithful to me. It’s my desire that He is honored and glorified through my writing.

Good day, I was wondering if I could have permission to use one of your beautiful images for a project I am praying about. Many thanks
Hello Audrey, yes you may use any of my images. I just ask that you place any credits I posted below the picture along with your copy if you are reposting on social media. Some of the images are mine, while some I’ve gotten from other sources. Thanks.
