Welcome to my lake house. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2014. I prayed for an outlet for the incredible isolation I felt mentally and physically. God gave me writing. I am hoping to inspire you, make you laugh, ponder and maybe make you ugly cry. I am the mother of five audacious children and the wife of a health care professional.
