what's this all about?
I feel the Lord has been calling me for years to use my skills to share a story with the world. After this summer of experiences, I finally feel I have a story to tell. God is prompting me in many ways every day, and I am hoping to honor Him with my words and actions. This website has grown out of that desire.
You will see pages on which I explain my own experience, and a blog where I invite you to share yours as well. I hope that this will become a place for people to feel comfortable being real, without the fear that they will be judged as bitter, or ungrateful.
You will also see a page that documents the progress I am making on writing and illustrating a children's book: Mama Giraffe. When I was in the hospital I began to tell my little daughter a variety of stories that popped into my head. I told her a little bit about what was happening to us, and how mommy's illness would destin her for great things. Her unique beginning would lead to a unique, and wonderful life. She was already stronger and more resilient than many adults, and I took courage from this instead of focusing on the fact that things hadn't turned out the way that I planned. Mama Giraffe is a work in progress and an outlet for the emotions surrounding my journey.
