About

For as long as I can remember, I have loved writing.  As an adolescent, I would grab a pencil and notebook and write poems or short stories for hours. In my 20s, I began using social media as a way to encourage and inspire others to live healthier lifestyles.  After going through a divorce in 2018, I lost my identity and I lost my voice.  This event left a gaping hole in my chest large enough for only God to fill the void and completely transform me.  As I have witnessed Him rebuild my life brick by brick on a stronger faith-filled foundation, I felt called to share my story as a way to encourage others who may feel lost or broken, or as I was – trying to fill a void with earthly things that only God can truly satisfy. Some family and friends encouraged me to write a book, but I was reserved as I wanted to wait until I was on the other side of life’s big challenges before writing about my experiences.  I wanted to be able to provide wisdom on how I got “to the other side”, I wanted to be more knowledgeable about the history of the bible, I wanted to wait until I had more answers.  I had a lot of excuses not to share my story.  Then on Christmas Eve in 2023, I realized that I may never truly be “out of the storms” of life so I want to use Broken Road Blessings as an avenue to find my voice again and invite others to join my journey as I continue to face life’s challenges while being intentional to find the light in a world of darkness. 

Inspiring hope.

I am a wife, mom, step-mom, daughter, sister, friend, and occupational therapist, among other things.  I am not a theologian and I am definitely not perfect.  However, God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things all the time.  While this may not be extraordinary to many, I hope that my journey in finding blessings along my own broken road will resonate with some about the intentionality of finding the beautiful rays of sunlight through the clouds.
