I'm 50+, wife of one hubs for 30+ years, mom of two grown-up boys and two li'l pups, and I'm a Jesus-follower just tryin' my best like almost everyone else is.

Although I can be a warm mess sometimes (my hot mess days are long behind me), I strive to be a good friend and a good neighbor whether I'm living in a diverse community or demographically tapered one, whether in the big city or in the boondocks, whether I'm living in my home country or someone else's.

Ultimately, I hope I cause people to feel valuable if not out-right loved. 

And I like to feed people.
