What defines me? At this age? I suppose what I’ve always been… creative, optimistic, goal-oriented, determined (most of the time), too sensitive, unless I use it to encourage others through my writing, poetry, linguistic metaphors or artistic illustrations. I’m also a wife of 45 years to one amazingly sweet man, mother of 4 wonderful kids (3 sons, 1 daughter), and their loving, gracious spouses. I’m a grandmother to 17 of the most precious children in the world. I write, edit and publish Courage for Bush Ministry Women each month for Arctic Barnabas Ministries. In all of life, I’m passionate to encourage others to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts (Acts 11:23).
