About Me

My photo
I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.

A Heritage of Faith



A heritage of faith

To live is Christ,
to die is gain.
To live for anything else
would mean to die in vain.
When I leave this world behind
What will others say of me?
Will my life even compare
To my grandpa’s legacy?
A life lived on purpose
A man of fervent prayer
So captivated and compelled
To share Christ everywhere.
He loved his family deeply,
and he knew what mattered most.
He lived every day for Jesus,
his one and only boast.
Today he celebrates in Heaven,
face to face with his Lord.
He gave his life to Christ
and now gained his reward.
I already miss him dearly,
but I’m so grateful to claim
the heritage of faith

that he leaves behind his name.

Philippians 1:21
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.


I want to live like that. (Sidewalk Prophets)
