Welcome!

Step into a 1920s speakeasy in The Sapphire Room, where cigarette smoke, low music, and shadows set the stage for mystery and suspense. In this noir short story, singer Margaret leans into the mic, bartender Bill keeps a careful eye on the room, and a mysterious stranger lingers just out of sight. A tale of tension, intrigue, and secrets that follow long after the last note fades. Perfect for fans of mystery, suspense, and noir-inspired short stories.

After finding a fallen nest in my yard, I explore and reflect on how loss, uncertainty, change, and faith in God can become invitations to trust, release, and begin again.

Welcome!

In this special holiday episode, I share my unexpected journey into the world of horses — a place where gratitude found me in the quiet strength and stillness of these gentle giants. Though I’ve never owned a horse, caring for them humbled me, challenged me, and taught me how to slow down and be fully present. From the physical labor of barn life to the emotional shift that came with stepping away, this story reflects how a city girl like me discovered grounding, joy, and a deeper sense of self in the most unlikely place. Season 2 officially begins on November 30 at 6:00 p.m. CST, but for now, I’m grateful to share this moment of holiday reflection with you.
