About Me
I am first and foremost a child of God, John’s wife, and mother of five children. My passion is my family. John and I have grown together over the past 24 years to become one strand.
Our oldest son, Connor, was gifted to us for 19 years and was called to Heaven October 18, 2014. He was bright, charismatic and would bring laughter to a stranger. Claire was born strong, determined and beautiful. Charming Calvin, quick witted, and easy going was our baby for nine years until our youngest two joined our family in 2010 through the blessing of adoption. Callie is kind to everyone, multi-tasks like no other, and loves to learn. Carter, is wise beyond his years, our happy hugger with all the dance moves!
Through the past several years the lessons I have learned through God’s plan are many. In hopes of helping others, I humbly share our journey. I pray these words will encourage, enlighten, entertain and give hope. I am certain that God does give us things we cannot handle so that He can carry us through.
Blessings & Peace to you!

I just found your page and I want to say it is a blessing and confirmation of my own journey to help people process grief.
I’ve been so amazed at God’s confirmations showing up in all the things He’s been telling me.
One revelation I got actually long ago was the verse joy comes in the morning but also in the mourning.
I’m doing a 5 day course on Finding the Gold in Grief and somehow I stumbled onto your website. This week I’ve been talking about looking up to a higher perspective and finding gold in the situations and in others.
All this to say thank you. Thank you for putting your heart out there to help others through pain. That is noble and pure and true. You are being love and being the hands and feet of Jesus.
So grateful to find you and maybe we can share and collaborate at some time in future.
Be Blessed this Christmas with your beautiful family.
Paula, Thank you for your words of encouragement! I received your comment an hour after a phone call informing me I had COVID. It was the day our oldest two children were coming home from college. Knowing I would be spending the time they were home in quarantine in our basement was awful news to me. I am grateful for a mild illness and wanted to share that I see God sending me light, when I am in the dark. You and your words were a gift that shined brightly that day. Thank you! I would love to connect and collaborate! Mama C (Lauri) 🙂
