a life shaped by story
For more than thirty years, my work in education and leadership has been shaped by a simple belief: that people flourish when they are seen, supported, and invited to live from what is most true in them. Alongside that work, horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, steady companions and unexpected teachers who have shown me what presence, honesty, and quiet courage look like in motion.
My writing gathers these threads together. memoir, equestrian experiences, spiritual development, each one explores the ways we return to ourselves, especially in seasons of transition or becoming.
This space is a home for those stories, and the unfolding work of a life lived close to the land, rooted in embodied ways of being, and attentive to the quiet movements of the soul and the questions that shape us. I am grateful you are here.
I Love You More Than Horses
I Love You More Than Horses is the first book in a six‑part series that helps children learn essential character skills through the gentle, honest world of horses. Each page introduces one of the PARIS principles—Presence, Authenticity, Reverence, Integrity, and Stewardship—through real horses at Equine Paths, a non-profit, and the children who care for them. With lyrical storytelling and watercolor illustrations created from real photographs, this book teaches young readers how to listen, notice, breathe, and respond with kindness. A perfect read‑aloud for classrooms, families, and anyone who believes animals make the best teachers.
Horses and Holy Ground
A memoir about the places that shape us and the quiet teachers who help us return to ourselves. Through seasons of loss, transition, and unexpected grace, this book follows the intertwined stories of a woman learning to live from her truest center and the horses who walked with her through that becoming.
Part reflection, part fieldnote, part prayer, Horses and Holy Ground invites readers to slow down, listen closely, and discover the sacredness woven into ordinary life.
