I love Jesus, my family, and dark roast coffee with a bit of sugar and heavy cream. I live on a gorgeous lake in Southwest Virginia. I'm a bit on the sarcastic side with a whole lot of love and encouragement for women in every stage of life. I have a serious addiction to books, kitchen towels, and the Oxford comma. Welcome.
