Greg and I will be sharing our thoughts throughout this site in hopes to encourage, support, and uplift others. We’ve both had our share of struggles throughout life, and we would like nothing more than to let others know they are not alone! If this site helps just one person, it will all be worth it.

While I will be writing the majority of the posts, Greg will add his thoughts as well. He may be a man of few words, but he imparts great wisdom when he does write.

Greg has made Light Love Hope possible for me to use as an outlet to write and share my thoughts with the world. I used to write poetry many years ago, but after the suicide of my sister, Pamela, in 2001, I lost my voice. I found it difficult to put words together to form anything meaningful after my sister’s passing. Greg provided Light Love Hope for me and has encouraged me to write about anything and everything. And, I’ve found this to be a great form of therapy through the years that this blog has been active.

The most important fact about me is that I am the extremely proud mother of two beautiful girls who are my heart and soul! They are the reason I live and breathe. God has blessed me with these two angels, my miracles from Heaven above! Although my girls are eight years apart in age, they are very close! I truly hope they will stay this way throughout life. That is so important in this day and age, especially when the world can feel so big, scary, lonely, and cruel. It is my hope that they will always have a friend in each other and will stand by each other’s side throughout all of life: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Love and support from family is extremely important!

Take a look around. We hope you find something you like!

Blessings to one and all!
