Writer. Wife. Momma. Honey. Still becoming.
I’m Susan—a lover of Jesus, wife to my high school sweetheart, momma of three and their spouses, and “Honey” to one amazing little girl named Nora. My people are life.
My husband and I live on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia, where retired life is still full of stories, new beginnings, and plenty of opportunities to practice patience. I excel at sarcasm and “spidey sense.” Some things haven’t changed.
Other things have. God is still teaching me gratitude, softening my rough edges, and helping me become a woman who encourages others with her words. I’m a work in progress, and I suspect I always will be.
Here I share stories of faith and family, the mess and the joy, and the everyday work of growing stronger and living well. After a season of unexpected health challenges, I’m learning to choose consistency, make room for joy, and trust God with what comes next.
I write especially for women finding their footing in a new season of life. There is still strength to build, love to give, and so much life to live—and write about.
I hope you’ll find encouragement here, a little humor, and the comfort of knowing you’re not figuring it all out alone.
Still growing. Still becoming. I’m glad you’re here.
