Welcome to Sunshine & Grit, a tiny corner of the internet where I share honest, occasionally funny, always truthful musings on parenting, mid-life, complicated grief, and my herculean efforts to live with joy and purpose while navigating the rocky waters of life (especially after a difficult diagnosis).
C.S. Lewis said “We read to know we are not alone.” I write for the same reason.
I’m an author, speaker, non-profit founder, podcast host and passionate advocate for family and youth service. I share content about all of that good stuff on my Simple Acts Guide platform. I’m also a mom, wife, caregiver, helper and friend, trying to stay positive and curious, searching for glimmers of hope and inspiration. Sunshine and Grit allows me to share what I find with you.
A friend recently told me that she feels like she is rowing a boat on the edge of Niagara Falls. That resonated for me, big time.
Thanks for being here.
Be a little kinder than necessary today.
