Turns out it must be more than that, because I’ve slept plenty since then! It’s gone from having a head that feels like it may explode to having Kleenex in the necessity category to talking with a scratchy voice to that feel that there’s something stuck but a cough doesn’t really help.

About Me

Telling stories is my therapy and love sharing with friends on my porch.

The main characters in my stories are my entrepreneur husband, our fifth-grade girl who never forgets, our have-no-fear second-grade boy, and our joy-filled toddler girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.
