I have spent many years of my life trying to please others and attempting to bring peace to everyone about everything. Finally I realized this just isn’t working for me. It was then that I began searching for the real me, my true self without all the masks that I felt I had to wear. Wow! God began to reveal (or I finally saw) the woman He created me to be and I really like her. I just wish I had found her sooner. So I’m on a journey to find more and more of this treasure and then share it with others.

What I’ve discovered through God’s grace and love is that I have a new identity and the past is gone. For one who has been forgiven much this changed my life and rewrote my present and future. Freedom is a word I use often to describe this abundant life. Galatians 5:1  This freedom is found in Christ Jesus. And no, it is not a license to sin as some say but it is freedom to love and be loved by an incredible, extravagant, holy God. I’m not a  woman bound by the chains of the world anymore because I believe I am who He says I am and I  know He’s who He says He is. Knowing truth revived, renewed and refreshed  this  hurt, worn out, depressed woman.

Through mentoring and teaching women over the past 19 years I found a passion for helping them discover their purpose in life. So I became a certified lifecoach and instructor in life skills.  Now I have the priviledge of guiding others to discover the life they were meant to live.

Writing has kept me busy the last few years as I wrote my first book, became a Staff Writer for Christian Women’s Online Network and began this blog. I’ve also been given the opportunity to contribute to our community newsletter Break Free through my column Moore On Life.  I thank God that He’s given me the chance to share His love and grace with others.

Above all He’s blessed me with my husband of 30 years and I love sharing life with him. We have two adult kids, Katie and John and recently got a new daughter-in-love Michelle. For fun I like reading either on the internet or a book, photographing old structures like barns, having coffee with friends and just being with my family. I know, I know it sounds boring but for me it’s just perfect.

Held by Him,
