A Little About Me
I was born in Finland and grew up in Canada. I’m a lifelong follower of Jesus, wife, mom, grandma, sister, and a friend. After retiring from teaching and after many years as a pastor’s wife, I wrote two books: Between Us and The Other Child.
Why I Write
Writing started during a difficult season when I finally let myself put feelings on the page. God met me in that vulnerable place. I discovered that He is good, He is faithful, and He truly loves me—truths that moved from my head to my heart.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is simply a place to share stories of struggle, healing, hope, and the gentle ways God shows up through His Word, nature, and the kindness of others.
We’re all walking our own path with God or without. If you enjoy honest stories of faith, grace, and real life, I hope something here encourages your heart.
