About The Author

---

The truth be known, writing was not on my list of things to accomplish in my life time. As I mentioned in my book, in 2017, I felt this prompting from God that He wasn’t finished with me yet. It soon became apparent that He wanted me to share my journal. I was not comfortable with sharing it as it was private and was for my own healing from the loss of my husband and best friend. I didn’t want to forget some of the love that was being showered on me in the most unusual ways, and I felt others would not understand. Some of it was hard for me to understand. God does have a way of convincing you when He asks you to do something for a purpose that may not be fully understandable. When I made excuses, He always had an answer. It was when He said, “it would help others who are experiencing the same thing,” that got my attention and I committed.  

It is interesting that once I committed to sharing my journal and writing the book, everything literally fell into place to make it happen. He also told me at that time that I would be writing two more books and even gave me the titles and the concepts behind each book. I understood completely the concepts, I just never dreamed I would be writing about them.  

After I published the book, “The Little Book of Big Love from Heaven, I assumed that if you write a book you need to market it. Just as I was making plans to market the book, I had an accident that damaged my heart, and I spent most of 2019 healing. I questioned God during all this asking if I had missed something or not followed what I thought He was asking me to do. The only thing I have felt coming from God was that I was to write and share the journal, but He would put the book in the hands where he knew it would do the most good. I have left it at that for now until I know differently. It is His book anyway.

I have not felt the same motivation or push from God on the second book. He has reminded me of events which fit the book and told me to write them down, but that is about all for now. I know there is a reason for all of this, and I will wait on His timing.  

In the meantime, I thought I would share a little bit about myself. As I shared in my book, I do have Business degrees and other educational accomplishments and have been fortunate to experience a lot of different career opportunities in my life. I have held positions such as Director of Human Resources, Assistant Purchasing Agent, Systems Analyst, Change Agent, Director of Operations, Healthcare Administrator, and I had my own technology services business for 15 years.  

My non-professional passions are running, dancing and right now line dancing, doing cryptograms, playing scrabble and reading. I enjoy line dancing so much, a friend and I have choreographed several line dances and posted the step sheets and videos on a worldwide website for line dance step sheets. I have run six marathons since 1983. The half marathon was my favorite distance to race. I run now only for my health and enjoyment. 

For anyone reading this, I hope that my sharing my heavenly loving experiences, in some way has helped you. That is all I desired from writing the book; to share God’s unique ways of showing love to get our attention.  

Just a little fun. This is a YouTube link to my favorite choreographed line dance to date with my friend and co-choreographer.

Since my last update my life has become more about line dancing, teaching, and choreographing.  I have most of the content for the second book, but I haven't felt God moving me in that direction.  In the meantime, I keep dancing, which is so good for the mind, body, and soul.  I know that when God is ready for me to move forward on the next book, He will show me.
