About Me

About Me

 

I pray this place and the words written here bring a measure of encouragement, friendship, and inspiration to live your life with purpose.

 

I live with a busy husband, am the mother of four livley adult sons, and have the best daughter-in-love ever. Hanging with my people and cheering them on is my favorite thing.

 

I am a book-junky, dog-cuddling, beach-obsessed gal who adores a good walk or workout. The Chargers and Padres (mostly) bring me joy, and I am involved in my church and community.

 

Speaking to and writing words of encouragement for women is my passion and a prominent purpose of my life. Because of seasons of deep discouragement, I aim to lift others as I have been lifted.

 

I know God desires me to walk with courage and intentionality while I take up space on the globe. To live on purpose and for a purpose. I believe He desires that for you, too.

 

In my dreams, you may find me at the beach with my best friends, book in hand, as we chat and sip iced tea. You may or may not find Recess Peanut Butter Cups in my bag.

I was once a nervous freshman girl walking into a new high school, more than a month into the year, knowing no one. I had planned to sit alone at lunch, tucked away somewhere unseen. The day started like a disaster: my math teacher told me there was no room in her class and that I had to sit on the floor. I passed out in speech class after the teacher made me give a speech. Yes, on my first day (the irony, considering I’m now a public speaker). Then came French. The teacher asked a smiling blonde girl to walk me to the library to pick up a textbook. Her name was Linda. This marvelous Linda invited me to sit with her at lunch.
And the rest is history.
Linda, you saved me that day and so many days that followed. I can’t think of MCHS without thinking of you: my buddy in French, Classical Ensemble, Pop Ensemble, Leadership, Student Government, and more. You were the straight talker to my silliness. There were crushes and sleepovers, endless laughter and tears, ridiculous moments, your wonderful parents and sisters who always made me feel like family, and a treasury of inside jokes.
Then came college. Mt. Soledad with Diet Dr. Pepper and cheese popcorn. Hungry Hunter and El Torito. More crushes, boyfriends, beach days, and trips to Mammoth and Hawaii. Lunch dates at SDSU.
We stood as bridesmaids at one another’s weddings and walked through motherhood. Who would have thought those two ridiculous girls would one day have such remarkable adult kids and become grandmas together? Surreal.
I am so proud of the woman you are. You’ve walked courageously through valleys and emerged stronger, never bitter. Your wisdom and perspective are gifts. And still the tell-it-like-it-is honesty. I love that about you!
Happy, happy “special” birthday, my dear friend. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and I look forward to the memories still to come. You are a gem, and I love you dearly.
PS. Were it not for you, I may have ended up as a “dot” (our favorite inside joke).
