About Me

  • About Me: I'm a musick~maker, a dreamer of dreams... 5'4", brunette, with blue eyes, a mother of 2, and married to my best friend and hero. Music, art, family and learning how God intended us to take care of our bodies with the natural resources He created all around us, are passions of mine. I love the outdoors and anything beautiful. To me, it is very calming and thereapeutic. I love to swing, go for long walks through the grass, look out across fields just turning green with spring rains, be a part of family moments that turn into beautiful memories, talk with Jesus, be with my church family, and spend quiet moments in reflection.
