Hello There!
For years I imagined myself as a writer, but never quite confident enough to call myself one. Occasionally opening my laptop to pour out the thoughts in my head, then closing it again as the demands of life got in the way. Never fully making the gift God gave me a priority in my life.
Until...I could no longer contain the words held in my heart and mind. I HAD to let the words escape; they had to be let go.
I have spent the last year finding my writing voice. I have both succeeded and failed at finding what that voice is. But more than anything I have been amazed on what God has shown me. It has been nothing short of amazing!
I hope you will jump in and join me on my journey of discovering the voice God has given me! A journey, I am sure that will be filled with edge of the seat excitement, along with feelings of sitting on the sidelines waiting for my turn.
My Vision
To see lives transformed as people encounter the goodness of God in their pain and walk in lasting healing, forgiveness, and redemption.
About Me...
I’m married to the love of my life, Rich, and together we’ve been blessed with five amazing children and seven wonderful grandchildren.
Our family continues to grow through our children’s spouses and their families, and I’m deeply grateful for the love that surrounds us.
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me homeschooling our youngest daughter, tending to the garden, spending time with our grandchildren, serving at church through video and lighting, or enjoying a good book or painting. My favorite place to be is soaking up the sunshine or relaxing by the pool on a warm summer day—I truly love summer!
I’m so glad you stopped by, and I can’t wait to connect with you.

My sweet Gracie Girl and me!
One of my favorite paintings,
it hangs in my dining room!
The view from my devotional table Rich made me, so I can watch the sun come up while I read my morning devotions.
I Am From...
I am from an old rocking chair,
From Oreos and Kool Aid.
I am from an old farmhouse,
Atop a hill on a country dirt road.
I am from a lazy creek,
Whose cool gaze welcomed us on a hot summers day.
I am from old bikes and mysterious barns.
From the families of Flyte and Luecke,
From hard working and loving people,
who are full of passion.
I am from Sunday morning church pews,
From Hobo Stew and Meatloaf.
From a grandfather in who survived WWII,
and from tough but loving grandmother.
I am from the moments of chasing lighting bugs on summer nights,
and hanging out with friend, Friday night football games, and Saturday softball games.
This is where I am from.
