"I'm looking at the July date and, oh, what the hell, doubt particularly self-doubt and fear of rejection are huge negatives in my life as well. Hope to get to know you better in the near future."

Looking For My Tribe

It took the last therapist I saw about 30 minutes to observe, "so rejection's kind of your thing, huh? That's the devil that follows you isn't it?" And that was BEFORE I started writing! Being a writer and publishing a book that even my family and friends didn't buy is tough on the nerves. I'm thinking I should have gotten my tribe together before striking out with this writing thing. But, like with marriage and baby-carriage, I have a tendency to do things in all the wrong order. So, I'm…See More

Profile Information

Who I am:
A mom, writer, thinker, talker, Christian and odd duck . . . I write about religion, life, parenting, education and culture, but not in the usual way. I've been working on my "elevator speech" and so far I have this monstrosity:
"I speak to people who sometimes struggle to sustain their faith on a Christian message disconnected from the reality of life and the world around them. My message offers a vision of Christianity which is firmly grounded in reality, not hostile to the world and based on a deep spirituality and faithfulness to the Christian Way. For those who are struggling to maintain or grow in faith, My hope is that this vision can offer sustenance for a Christian life that is true to the faith and to the reality of the life as it is - warts, doubts, pain and all."
Connect with me online! My site, blog, or Twitter handle are:

Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
The Upside Down World ~ A Book of Wisdom in Progress
The Upside Down World Takes on Race in America
I Say Funny Things - The Upside Down World Takes on Humor
My writing is:
Nonfiction, Poetry, Memoir, Blog Posts
