“Introduction (Please don’t skip me!)”

Those are the words you will find at the beginning of my book, Choosing True Life. In life, we rarely get an "introduction" to the issues we face--we often are thrust into situations we don't know how to handle.

I once had a vision of myself on my knees, hands and arms raised, in one surrender-type motion. I had this feeling that’s what God was asking of me, but I thought, I don’t need to pray on my knees.

There Really is Hope for Us (6/14/2023)

I thought my chains of food addiction had been broken forever. The last six months taught me that the journey was not over. The weight kept piling on—I felt powerless to stop it.

A Food Addict’s Confession (8/22/2022)

Confession brings healing. A step in the right direction. Even if it’s just one. I am both a creative and a numbers person, so the biblical significance of numbers is never lost on me.
