Hello from northern California!💕
I live in a bright blue house surrounded by my family, our dogs, a flower garden–Green Fables, a few backyard goats, birds, chickens, bees and a cat or two.
On the blog, you’ll find personal prose + poetry celebrating the beauty of a little life, the inspirational and dynamic turn of seasons both in creation and in soul, and the triumphant hope of Christ.
I’m a bit of a (wild)flower gardener in that I like to throw seeds at the wind and see what happens. I have what you call a “cottage garden.” A little bit of everything, lots of color, informal, and absolutely lovely.
It’s a quiet spot here. Take a deep breath.😊🦋
This place is for slow and seasonal living. It’s for observing how the seasons change both out of doors and in our souls and how through it all, the hope of God permeates every ebb and flow and is always bobbing to the surface…Somehow!!
I’ve indie-published three poetry books, Hope Gives a Eulogy (my journey through infertility) Swan Song of a Scarecrow (pregnancy, new motherhood, learning I was safe to feel joy) and Carol of the Mourning Dove (feeling weary in my Christian faith, experiencing the joy of motherhood, grieving lost friends, innermost stories punctuated by hope).
Each book is an intimate portrait of my life in different soul-seasons and my strong and wavering faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. My poetry style is deeply personal, reflective, rooted in my faith, and very inspired by nature and each of the four seasons.

You can find my Garden of Green Fables series on Substack where I write nature-inspired novelettes released seasonally and sent chapter-by-chapter to your inbox. At no cost to you! These stories are an expansion of selected poems first found in my books and are fable meets folktale meets fiction with everything grounded in real life.

The Heart of Hugh launching March 31st!
Welcome to the garden in our quiet neck of the California woods! Whether you’re here for poetry, stories, or just a quiet minute to enjoy a slice of life, I hope you feel a sense of home.

PS: Curious about my poetry? I’ve got FREE downloads for you. Emotional, raw, and real. I keep it gut-honest and hopeful.
