The Journey Begins

Thank you for joining me as I journey through subject matters of the Heart.


I hope that as I write, you will find your journey a little lighter and brighter as we walk this life together.

I am blogging because writing is something I love. My stories and blogs will never be negatively pointed at anyone. I will if needed change names and places to protect people’s identity. Many of my experiences come from when I was an active licensed investigator and by law and my moral code, I would never disclose anything to harm someone’s privacy and reputation. I must alert you to the fact that there are not a lot of “new” stories out there. So, if you see something that you think is about YOU, think again…. Our population struggles with the same issues, same types of situations and the details which differ a little in each case. The Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We are all guilty and my goal in writing this blog is to share experiences and hopefully help someone along the way. PLUS… I love to connect which is what this is all about. I wish you happy reading and if you like what you are reading it would be great if you’d share it with your connections. Mankind is, after all, connected.  We need one another.  


I call this my disclaimer; I likely will refer to it often in days to come.

I am speaking from a place of life experiences and the knowledge gained. Simply, I am a retired investigator and insurance professional with some strong experience in Human Resources. I am a Mother, a Wife, a Grandmother, a Sister, a Daughter, a Mother-in-law, an Aunt, a Jesus Follower, and a Friend. I am like every other person out there in life, I’ve had my share of struggles as well as victories. I am who I am today because of the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ who loved me enough to show me the mess I was, and change me from the inside out, then teach me the way of the cross. I am eternally grateful and desire nothing less than to be a light in the dark and hidden places of life… and those places in which we really live.
