My country home is a sanctuary where I feel a profound connection with God, who has blessed me with the opportunity to extend warmth and hospitality to others. The invitation to open my doors to my country home in the valley is a heartfelt mission to create spaces filled with beauty and comfort. Whether in person or through online gatherings, I strive to share an atmosphere of welcome and hope, especially for those navigating their own valley of challenges. My aim is to foster connections and inspire others, reminding them that even in times of change, there is a light that can be found in community and in shared moments of joy.

The Message of Finally Home

In my fifth decade, I found myself striving for change in the tension of transition and closed doors. I waited for God to change my circumstances; but instead, He changed me. Shifting my heart and perspective. In the most unexpected place, I finally came home.

With the restructuring of my life came more time in my kitchen and home creating welcoming gathering spaces for those undergoing similar changes. I discovered the joy of release, but it wasn’t about proving myself or holding on, instead it was about growing deeper in faith and stepping into a new season as a better version of myself. It was about giving up striving and finding refuge. Slowly, I began to appreciate the simple joys of connection and beauty, embracing a slower pace and letting go of what others needed me to be. I traded my heels for mud boots and moved to our family’s twelve-acre farm to dig in the dirt, wear what I want, cook in my kitchen, host others in beautiful settings, and embrace the season.
