Thanks for visiting! You'll find an introduction to my newest book, Wildflower Living, and other helpful resources. My goal is to help others work through times of grief and loss, with a hopeful face toward the future. I trust you'll discover that these books and presentations give comfort and encouragement in the midst of life's storms. "Bad times have a scientific value...We learn geology the morning after the earthquake."
