Today I Wondered... I was driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel when I saw a ginormous cargo ship. This sucker was HUGE!

And I wondered...How do you not sink??

💭 What if the ordinary moments in our lives aren’t so ordinary after all?

A song that suddenly pops into your head.

A road you never expected to travel.

A change you didn’t see coming.

A sign that shows up at exactly the right time.

Or a dog who reminds you that perhaps you really should stretch more often. 🐶

Those are the kinds of moments that inspired my new book, And Then I Wondered… Reflections, Revelations & Random Thoughts on Life.

It’s a collection of stories and reflections about the experiences that have made me stop and wonder about life, people, choices, forgiveness, inspiration, community, peace—and what we might discover when we pay a little more attention.

Some made me laugh. Some changed me. And some simply made me wonder.
Maybe they’ll make you wonder, too. ✨

📖 And Then I Wondered… is now available on Amazon. Read a sample!

✨ It’s here! ✨

There’s something a little surreal about seeing something you’ve written become an actual book you can hold in your hands.

And Then I Wondered… Reflections, Revelations & Random Thoughts on Life is officially available!

This book grew out of the moments that have made me stop, laugh, question, rethink, change direction—and wonder if life might be trying to tell me something.

I write about forgiveness, inspiration, unexpected gifts, signs, community, finding peace, the power of our words…and even what a dog taught me about stretching. 🐾

I don’t have all the answers. But I’ve discovered that sometimes asking the question is where the interesting part begins.
