Biography
I am 56 years old, a wife of 36 years, with 3 adult children and 1 granddaughter. I was raised in a violent home and experienced physical and sexual abuse throughout my youth. In my early adult years, I was in counseling for 12 years. In my 30's, I began to grow in my faith in Jesus Christ. In my 40's, I wrote a devotional, Flame of Healing: A Daily Journey of Healing from Abuse and Trauma, with a journal, for personal, in-depth healing. I healed even more as I wrote Flame of Healing. My life has been transformed from tremendous pain to hope and healing, which I am now able to share with others. It has become my life purpose, to offer the hope and healing that I have received.
