Welcome to my website. Have you been looking for how to start gardening?

This site if for cultivating a life after loss, and faith-based grief recovery and divorce care.

Gardens give us hope. Each day the glories in a garden invite us to rejoice moments, to sling open life’s gate, and to cultivate spots to start again.

Through ever-changing seasons, our gardens display life’s contrasts: shadow and sun, sweet and sour, beginnings and endings.

Our losses are like garden compost: full of rich nutrients that in time can grow our hearts and raise our spirit.

My prayer is that this web site will encourage you to believe something beautiful will grow again in your broken heart. Never forget that God’s glory shines best when you faithfully live out your ordinary life, not through your temporal achievements.

There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known… –Isaac Watts (text writer of the hymn “I Sing The Mighty Power of God,” 1784)

I believe that faith, laughter, and holding all things loosely helps us cope with the unexpected in both gardening and life. I am a mother of two daughters, and I now live in the country with my second husband, and a dog.

Happy Gardening!
