“If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.”
~Thomas Merton
Hello there.
I’m a people person, a middle child, a lover of food, art, and sunshine. Oh!—and coffee (good coffee!) I believe sequins are for everyday wearing, and that you can never have too many books.
I am the author of a handful of books, and a contributor to a few more. I am the Founder and Director of Refine {the retreat}, a Christ-centered creative retreat for women, and the host of Refine{d} the podcast. I also write for The Cultivating Project an online magazine.
I have been a featured guest on numerous podcasts, and enjoy connecting with people when I speak at events around the U.S. I live in the middle of Ohio with my 4 children and husband of 24+ years.
