You were once enthusiastic and adventurous, but that’s been taken from you. You once had joy that overflowed from your life. All of us lose things that were important to us: relationships, careers, reputations. When we feel we’ve been mistreated or devalued, it can be hard to climb out of the hurt.
I was able to bounce back from that. I am not perfect. Believe me. But I found some things that – wow! – changed my life. I got my joy back, and I would love to share that with you. You can get back your adventures and enthusiasm. Let’s go find your joy again!
I am holding my hand out to you to walk this journey together. My monthly newsletter brings help, healing, and joy. If you’ve had some sadness and hurt, let’s rediscover the beautiful parts of your life again. Let’s go!

Tough Parenting
Standing before a judge with your minor child. Disastrous grades. Drugs. Seeing your loved one in an orange jumpsuit and shackles. Furniture, windshields, and walls destroyed. Seeing your child in the psych ward. Is your walk-in closet more of a cry-in closet?
Forgiveness
Our hurts wound us even more when we don’t let them go. Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free, and discovering we were the prisoners.
