Most of my career was spent as an elementary music teacher in a K-2 school. It was the best job in the world!  While my primary job was to build a strong, musical foundation for my students, my purpose was much greater.  Encouragement was always my theme and I wanted every child to realize their potential, their worth, and I wanted to help them discover their own unique gifts and talents.  I write books with this same purpose in mind.

We live in a world where kindness seems to be in short supply. We must remind our children (and ourselves) of the power of words. Words can build up or tear down. Lets encourage each other to grow in kindness, love, and compassion for others!

May all that I do bring honor and glory to the Lord, Jesus Christ!
