    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. Our son lost his battle with mental health in October of 2020, so we are a family of mental health advocates. I hope I can entertain, educate and energize you a bit with my words. See you in the inkwell....
