About

All my life I’ve wanted just a little more sleep to do the right thing. To earn God’s love. Crazy I know but there it is. I tell people I’m a recovering oldest daughter. Must do it right.

Now it’s about pleasing God and not “doing it right.” That new attitude is the result of what I now call my happiness program but when I started it I called it my “survive-the-day” program. I write about it in my books and it’s the basis of the 21 Day Happiness Challenge.

Here’s where I am now
Parker and I live on 38.5 forested acres in wild, wonderful West Virginia with chickens, deer, coyotes, raccoons, squirrels, frogs and a large garden.

Between the two of us we have children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren (Parker’s side!)

Parker loves being outside even on rainy days. He puts on a wide-brimmed hat and walks around in the rain looking like a walking waterfall. I, on the other hand, like curling up in a comfy chair looking out the window at the results of Parker’s work.

I write from a small office over a stone cellar filled with the fruits and vegetables of Parker’s Garden. I can see mountains, ponds and trees from my office window and NO people. I like that being basically a hermit. Although the neighbor girls are darling. And I love the social side of the Internet.
