Fifteen years ago, after raising three children nearly to adulthood, my husband and I began an adoption journey. Before we started, I pictured life with a big family as if it were a day at the beach. Yes, things would be messy, but overall, it would be fun. I imagined a big, happy family splashing in the waves, building sandcastles, and watching the sunset together—my children laughing and my heart full of joy.

When it comes to our health, it’s easy to feel like we should be able to handle things on our own. We often think, “I know what I need to do, I just need to do it!” But the truth is, we all need support and accountability, especially when it comes to building lasting, healthy habits. That’s where a health coach comes in—someone who walks alongside you, cheering you on and helping you stay on track. The Bible tells us the importance of having support and encouragement in our lives.

One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to prepare to be healthy—both in mind and body. As a mom of ten, I understand chaos, and I know how easy it can be to let our health slip away as we take care of everyone else. But here’s the good news: we don’t have to go at it alone! When we take intentional steps to prepare ourselves and build a supportive community, we’re setting ourselves up for success.

How do we detox our minds from the thoughts of everything we think we’re missing out on? How do we focus on what we should be doing for our minds and bodies instead of falling into emotional traps? For years, I got caught up in unhealthy patterns—not just with food, but with my mindset. I used food to manage my stress and emotions. I found myself on an emotional rollercoaster, trying to “fix” everyone around me.

One common thread runs through all my books: broken things made beautiful by God. Whether it’s a novel or a non-fiction book, my writing often reflects how God’s grace can transform the most painful parts of our lives into something good. I’ve seen it in my own life, and I’ve witnessed it in the lives of others. That’s why I’m passionate about telling my story and helping others find the courage to share theirs. I’ll never forget when my first novel, From Dust and Ashes, was published in 2003.

Have you ever felt so tired that it seemed like the weight of the world was resting on your shoulders? I’ve been there, more times than I can count. Between homeschooling my kids, caring for my 95-year-old grandmother, and keeping up with writing deadlines, there are days when I feel like I’m sinking. It’s like I’m trying to carry too many bags at once—one bag is homeschooling, another is caregiving, and yet another is my writing.

When I think of my stepmom, Carol, I’m reminded of her warmth, her kindness, and her strength. Step-moms are supposed to be wicked, or so the stories say, but Carol wasn’t. She always had a smile, a kind word, and an open heart. Even though I was already grown when she married my dad, she took the time to reach out to me. She invited me to visit and helped me understand my father in ways I never had before.

There’s something special about autumn. The crisp air, the vibrant colors, and the smell of pumpkin spice in the air all signal the beginning of a new season. With shorter days and longer nights, it’s a time when we start to see warm lights glowing from windows and pumpkins lit on doorsteps, reminding us that even in the darkness, light shines through. As I reflect on this season, I’m reminded of something that happened years ago. My sister, Lesley, made me a beautiful, personalized pumpkin.

Okay, let’s get real for a minute. If you’re on BookTok or living that Bookstagram life, you know the power of a book that can rip your heart out, make you scream, cry ugly tears, and then glue it all back together with hope. We’re talking epic stories, the kind you HAVE to post about, with captions like “I’m wrecked… in the best possible way. 💔✨”Now, let’s flip the script: What if I told you that Christian historical fiction could do just that? Yes, you heard me right.

As a mom, author, health coach, teacher, speaker, and homeschooler, my days are filled to the brim. I know what it’s like to try to manage the day-to-day of having a family while keeping up with writing deadlines, homeschooling lessons, co-op days, and supporting others on their health journey. But I also know the cost of running on empty—feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and disconnected from the joy that I should feel from all of these fulfilling things I am blessed to be able to do.
