If you're wondering what makes my heart beat, and how I can best serve you, here is a little background information. (Scroll down for my Statement of Faith)

I am a speaker, retreat leader, and creator of the Spiritual Circle Journal, a tool that teaches people how to connect deeply with God in 10-15 minutes.

I am passionate about helping people learn to listen for the Lord, love their time with Him and His Word, and live life Spirit led. Fun is one of my top core values, so it's no surprise that journal users often describe Spiritual Circle Journaling as fun!

 It was such a treat to be a guest on Moody Radio and have Focus on the Family feature the Spiritual Circle Journal several times too. I have been involved in women's ministry for 13 years and served recently for three years on the team at my church. I am a Christian Life Purpose Coach, Life Maps Facilitator, and member of Called Creatives.

I live in the Chicagoland area with my husband Jon, who started as my doubles waterski show partner and then became my partner for life. We have three children ages 21, 18, & 12. My daughter was a lovely surprise after being a boy mom for nine years.

In my spare time I enjoy hosting gatherings for family and friends, painting, journaling, and spending time with God. I love to curl up with a Christian historical fiction novel, especially one from the Jane Austin era.  

A few random tid bits....

 I was brought up in a loving Christian home and came to know Christ at five years old when my mother, a children's ministry leader led me to the Lord. 

I was a member of Community Bible Study (CBS) for 8 plus years and continue be in a Bible Study to keep growing closer to this Lord. 

Biblical literacy is very important to me and God uses his Word as the primary way to lead, along with the daily nudges of the Holy Spirit. I did not understand how to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit till I was in my early 30's.

I have been speaking and leading retreats since 2013. All my talks have the theme of connection running through them. 

I love leading workshops and retreats (by Zoom or in person) that help people process their prayers on paper through the filter of God’s Word, with the power of the Holy Spirit. 

My hope is that through the spiritual practice of journaling people will slow down long enough to have a more vibrant relationship with God and learn to listen better for the daily, life-changing guidance of the Holy Spirit.

My own story and this ministry were a direct result of daily listening, obeying, and partnering with God.

I am a Public Relations graduate from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and went into Marketing and PR for several years before going back to school to become a Life Coach. I completed my two-year coach training program through a leading, accredited, international school called Coach U. 

When God made it clear my calling is to help others to their calling, I refocused my work in that direction and created a four-call coaching process around life purpose and God-given goals. 

I tie together the small daily actions led by the Holy Spirit with the bigger story God is writing, I encourage people to use the Spiritual Circle Journal to help see God's daily guidance and connect that to the bigger picture of their story.

My mission is to foster connection and encourage, enlighten, and inspire women to reach their divine callings.
