From a young age, I was always inspired to write. Throughout the years this has grown from secretly writing poetry in my notebook to corporate presentations, business content, and my favorite: personal blog posts. While I consider myself a multi-passionate entrepreneur, I always come back to writing and graphic design.
When our daughters joined our family, my writing drastically increased. Not only did we need to write countless paragraphs for foster care and adoption, but I also documented nearly everything, sharing a few writings with my friends & family. I’m excited to continue this writing with a website fully dedicated to God and our families.
Follow along as we light our family’s journey with God’s raydiant love.
