I’m glad you’re here…

You were made to thrive. We all were.

Yet sometimes we forget. I hope to help you remember the truth about who you are.

As an author, podcaster, and speaker, I love sharing words, using them to point you to Jesus, offer encouragement, and brighten the world.

…and we’re better together - especially in our encore years.

We all need…
- encouragement
- fellowship &
- purpose

You’ll find that here, on this site. Look around. Listen to a podcast or two and linger a while. I’d love to get to know you, too.

  • Rediscover Your Passions

The conversations I have with best-selling authors, speakers, counselors, relationship, health, and wellness experts offer tremendous insight about life in our encore years.

Listen in. As we learn to walk with Christ, our empty nest years can be full and fulfilling. Your time is valuable. It’s a privilege to share it with you.

You Version Bible Studies

I’ve been a writer all my life. I love following and studying YouVersion Bible plans and am honored to have published four of them: 

The Blessed Empty Nest, Amazing Grace & Loving Aging Adults & Above the Net and Dog Days and His Ways. 

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. I pray they bless you and offer encouragement. Click below to view them.

Speaking is one of my favorite ways to connect.

I love people.

Through podcasting and encouraging groups, small or large, I enjoy speaking words of truth.

The Casting Crowns song, Thrive, best says what my heart believes: “We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives. It's time for us to more than just survive. We were made to thrive.”

You can thrive personally and relationally. I’d love to come share how and enjoy speaking on these topics:

  • Creating Your Personal Mission Statement

  • Reset Your Marriage

  • Friendship & Friending as Jesus Did

  • Let’s Age Faithfully
