"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten."
G. K. Chesterton

Life is not random as we observe people loving people in despair, refocusing, rebuilding, rewriting, and repairing damage done from others and ourselves. Love is driving the universe toward beauty vs. chaos.
Writing is a way of beholding Him and seeing His image in each other. Storytelling makes heavenly ideas flesh out in ordinary people, whether fictional characters, confidential clients, or memoir from my own experiences. We share the earth and common bonds to explore the vast mysteries God has offered us.
As a therapist for 23 yrs., I enjoy identifying problems blocking joy and finding ways toward peace. I write to bring clarity to human sadness and discover God's truth which sets us free. Jesus came to bring us His joy, and that it would be full.
