Welcome! I am delighted you are here. If you are looking for a place to be authentic, open, and encouraged, you have come to the right place. And I am thankful you are here.

So allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shawna. I am a wife of almost 25 years. I have two amazingly wonderful kids, the best son-in-law, and two beautiful grand-babies.

I am a wife, mother, Nona, and follower of Christ. I am a woman with flaws and hangups. A woman who has faced many trials, like I’m sure many of you have. But I hope that my transparency will be an encouragement to all who stumble across my page.

I believe the best way to survive this life is to take the lessons you have learned, both in your struggles and triumphs, to encourage someone else to persevere. I hope that is what you find here—encouragement and hope.
