Just write it down. If you have something burning in your heart or churning in your mind...get on with it. There will never be a good time to start. I've been writing informally for years and life hasn't slowed. Just do it. And do not wait for perfection to publish. It will never come. Self-publish. Just get it out there!

Relationships. 100%. The people I meet. The stories I hear. The relationships I am privileged to be a part of. It is simply the best job because of the people I rub shoulders with and the people that inspire me.

They say to write what you know. Well, I know myself and my family. That's pretty much it. However, writing our story down has set me down a path where I see ideas all around me. The challenge comes in choosing one and committing to it for a time.

I am inspired by others' stories. Most people think their lives are ordinary, but it is the ordinary moments of our lives that we find the extraordinary. For me, finding those moments and crafting them into a story is completely inspiring!

I am currently working on a series of books designed to help the adoption and foster care communities. These books are for people considering adoption or foster care, families in the trenches, and outside supporters of foster and adoptive families.
We are also working on a video series following one family through foster care licensing and taking a placement. Pretty exciting!
