Notice anything different about my blog? Yes! Everything! I hope you’ll take some time to wander through
I changed my blog from The Wounded Dove to my name and gave her a facelift, and let me tell you, it was NOT an easy process. For almost a year, my site was flooded with spammers, and the last straw that took her under was a nasty morphing hacker code that caused Google to shut the whole thing down. It was rather

I still have no real plan or end in sight, but I’ve simply set my eyes on a bigger mountain. Come along with me while I take on this new leg of my journey. Let’s do this together, and see what treasures we uncover along the way.
I LOVE that you can still appreciate the season you had with The Wounded Dove. That’s how I’ll remember internet-meeting you. You are brave and bold and strong.
