I am, first and foremost, a child of God!  I am a mom of three grown boys who are one of the great joys of my life.  My husband, Tom, and I have three fur babies.  There are two people groups in particular that are close to my heart.  One is the elderly which inspired my work as a home health aid.  The other is men and women of all walks of life dealing with mental health struggles.  My goal in writing this book was and is to be a source of hope to others.  No matter what you've gone through there is joy to be found!
