THE AUTHOR

I am a Christian, US Army veteran, once a soldier, always a soldier. I fight for God and country, in that order. I am also a motorcycle enthusiast; I am a biker.

I am a wife and mother of a blended family. My husband, Ken, and I reside in Elmira New York. Together we have seven sons, one grandson and one granddaughter.

As empty nesters, I’m switching gears from domestic engineer to author. I’ve been stay at home mom since 1997. I’ve been able to take time to introspect, and reflect on the good, bad, ugly, and in different events in my life. I knew at my core, life could somehow be better. Not just for myself, but for the sphere of influence and the others around me too. To have them join me on the quest for making the world, life, and the lives around us better for everyone.

The intent of this book is about helping others flip the Switch or flip the script and open their eyes to the concept that peacemaking is an inside job for each individual. Then we can come together as a congregation all on the same page and journey of searching for peace. That there’s a benefit to making peace with Your past and yourself. Getting real, raw, and honest; to be authentic and genuine is the way we come together in unity to crossover from shame to shine.

This book is meant to be controversial to start conversations of caring and sharing and promote humility, kindness, compassion, and to create a time of healing. I know I once was lost, now I know I’m found. I went from hurting to healed to whole. I just want others to know this kind of freedom.
