About Us

 All of the wisdom and any common sense found on this site is courtesy of a great and good God and all of the people I've ever had the opportunity to know and to serve.  These reflections also offer an inter-generational wisdom distilled from my life as a granddaughter, daughter, wife, mother, caregiver, and woman of faith.
