“I am in my happy place…

…when I am singing loudly, dancing wildly and belly laughing with my husband and 2 toddlers during family karaoke night;

…when I am fearlessly living out my calling as an encourager, sparking hope where there is despair, watching beauty emerge from ashes;

…when I am immersed in a compelling novel, swinging in a hammock in Jamaica, a warm breeze gently rustling the pages while Marley sings to me ‘everything is gonna be alright’ and God whispers His agreement.”
