Hello, Warrior.
My book, WHEN GOD CALLS YOU NAMES, shares personal battle stories— raw, vulnerable and incredibly transparent. I believe you’ll find it relatable and most of all— inspiring and hope-filled. A battlefield can feel like a lonely place. It’s my mission and message to unleash the warrior in you and empower you with strategies to overcome life challenges. It’s also to remind you.. you are not alone!
One thing we all have in common are the battles of life. Not that they are identical, but it’s the feelings surrounding the battles where we find connection. Pain, sorrow, anxiety, fear, stress, hopelessness.. we, as warriors, aren’t immune from these emotions. It’s in the experiencing and processing through our emotions that we find our strength.
My new book…
WHEN GOD CALLS YOU NAMES
A traumatic breakdown and a job resignation followed by a diagnosis of beyond-stage-four cancer. A daughter close to death from a methamphetamine and heroin addiction. My life swerved sideways and tumbled into rapid somersaults before emerging mostly right side up, again.
I could have walked away from the trauma and wreckage, relieved to be alive and never saying a word about what happened. I could have secretly been relieved that I hit the lottery of miracles and then hoarded the riches all to myself. I could have pretended that I never felt an ounce of guilt and shame. I could have excused it away as just momentary loss of control and pretended I had resumed my life, unscathed.
But I’ve come to believe our lives are meant to be poured out for others. And not in some haphazard splash and spill, but as a life giving drink offering for those who thirst for hope.
This is the call of a warrior— to find our way through the battles and to light the way for those in need of hope, freedom and breakthrough.

Swords up!
“Go back?” he thought. “No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!” So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.
