Happy to Meet You!

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Becky. I’m a mom, a wife, and a writer (Faith Words published my first book, a grief/growing-up memoir titled BROKEN for GOOD).

I’m also a recreational baker, estate sale addict, defender of good coffee, INFJ, and former healthcare PR pro.

Writers are book-lovers, by design, and I’ve got a soft spot for big playful thinkers like C.S. Lewis, Neil Postman, and G.K. Chesterton. I also adore (and quite possibly over-promote) the oeuvre of the late, great Oswald Chambers. Utmost is gutsy, artful, WISE--and easily the best book on practical faith I’ve ever read. I keep pressing it into people’s palms.

I Tend to write about…

PURSUING PASSION, because I’m an incurable dreamer. Cinderella stories and “what-if” questions are my kind of catnip. I blog a good bit about fear, failure, dreams, possibility, and the art of appropriately ignoring what others think.

HOW MOMMYING KEEPS GROWING ME UP. And humbling me. My two kids (8 and 3) keep me laughing. And…exhausted. One is morally opposed to having his hair combed; the other’s a bedtime drillmaster who mandates nightly unicorn lullabies. An Irish Doodle will be joining the insanity soon. Gulp.

FERVENT FAITH, living HOT, and staying HUNGRY, because I’m a believer in the finished (really, the It is finished) work of Jesus Christ, and his desire to wring beauty from stubborn souls (see: Jacob, Jonah, me). I believe our minds were built to wrestle the great mysteries of faith, and grace, and pain, and grief, and The Whole Entire Point.

You can find a list of my favorite articles here. Oh: and the blog's here.
