So Much More Than …

God is the reason I can do anything and the reason that I do anything. He is in all and above all. Whether you believe in a High Power, the Universe, or coincidence, you will find something in my blog that will resonate with you.

The trouble I’ve experience with trying to introduce myself is that I’m never quite sure which part of myself to introduce. No, I don’t have split-personalities. I’m just your average, complicated American woman. I fill a dozen different roles and wear a gazillion different hats throughout the course of a single day or week. This makes it difficult to introduce myself to a general audience; I lack the context clues necessary to explain who I am and what I do. So check out my blog to get a better sense of why you’d care about what I have to say.
