Life moves fast, and we are gifted with so many breathtaking moments!  I hope to share some of my moments with you, as well as learn about yours!

Although I was born in California, I have lived most of my 54 years in Illinois.  Yep, I’m ok with sharing my age.  There’s joy in growth and becoming!  And people PAY for gray hair these days.  I get mine free!

Let’s see…the bare bones about me include that I went to college in the cornfields of Indiana, and then worked just up the Hudson River from New York City for a year before realizing God had wired me to teach.  So I headed back to the Midwest to get a bit more education and – long story short – I’ve been loving and teaching and learning from high school kids ever since.

So grateful for family!  Physically close, all live within 45 minutes of my home, and emotionally close, they are my dearest friends.  Mom and Dad are now retired from ministry/education and find time to be the best cheerleaders in our lives.  My two sisters are brilliant and kind and fun and full of integrity – amazing women I look up to!  One of my sisters comes with an Energizer Bunny of a husband and 3 lovely daughters; the other sister is my boss at school and one of the most effective and honest leaders I know.  My hubby is noisy and smart and loves me, despite me.  And my all-grown-up daughter lights up my life with her compassionate heart and clever wit.

Truly, my life has been blessed.  And I continue to see God’s hand at work growing me and opening new doors.  Don’t you just LOVE the journey?!  Life together is a strong and incredible thing!

Here’s to lots of shared joys…
