My name is Toni Nelson. I have been called, Miss Personality, the life of the party, and social butterfly. When I gaze into a mirror, I see Miss Reserved, Deep Thinker, and the Loner. We are all unique individuals equipped for a specific achievement and purpose.


I am married to Rick Nelson, have one daughter and two sons. I also have six gorgeous grandchildren.

I have been noted as the "happiest person on the Pahrump planet!"

Oh, I love u-no chocolate bars...

The Ramifications of Our Salvation

When I first received author John Rataczak's book in the mail, I thought, "Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into?"  I geared myself up for some deep reading and deciphering of theology way beyond what my pea brain could comprehend.  However, what I discovered was a book written and backed by scripture, followed by questions and logical answers. John writes on the second page of his book, "Biblica Read more of this blog post »

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Today, I will be happier than a bird with a french fry.”
Toni Nelson, A Beggars Purse

“No relationship is without its difficulties and this is certainly true when one or both of the persons involved has an autistic spectrum disorder. Even so, I believe what is truly essential to the success of any relationship is not so much compatibility, but love. When you love someone, virtually anything is possible.”
Daniel Tammet, Born on a Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Toni Nelson "Dear goodreads,
I am not the author of this book. Please remove from my page. I am the author of one published work, A Beggars Purse.
Thank you.

Toni Nelson I'm living my life like it's on borrowed time...


message 22: by Jesse

Jesse Hanson Thanks for adding me to your goodreads friends, Toni. A Beggars Purse looks really interesting, inspired by your life. I may not get to it for quite some time, but I do I want to read it at some point. I wish you the very best in all and I hope you won't mind my asking you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man. It's fiction but was inspired by events from my own life.
Namaste, jesse


Gwendolyn Gage Hi Toni! Thanks for your friend request, and thanks for following my blogs! I will certainly check out your books! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Toni Nelson I am currently reading, The Brotherhood by author Jerry B. Jenkins. I'm on page 225. I'm surprised as I couldn't find it listed on goodreads. It started out a little slow and then, bam! I'm loving it now!

Laurence Stoll Toni. Thank you for your interest in The Happy Accident. I'm flattered that you would consider it. People ask me if it is the story of my life. I say "No, but parts of my life are in the story"
I am just learning to use this medium, and it may take me a while to master it. In the meantime, please be patient. God Bless You and yours!

I always read a persons bio before connecting, Laurence. :)
My son is a touring musician and has seen the beauty of the Missouri Ozarks. I hope to visit your splendid state as well. I have added your book to my shelf and look forward to reading it.


Laurence Stoll Toni, let me tell you something about myself. I am retired, from at least seven different occupations.(Eight, by some accounts). I am married to my highschool sweetheart. (64 years). I am an author and a poet, a traveler and a seeker. My book is a Christian love story/ adventure titled "The Happy Accident". We live happily in the Missouri Ozarks.
