Journey to Victory

Journey to Victory

by | Blog

I’ve been asked why it took 20 years to finish writing my book “Rainbow in the Night: A Journey of Redemption.” There was more healing needed in my life before I was ready to complete the book. I wanted to write from a place of victory.

As I walked further down the path of life, I didn’t know what awaited me on the other side. However, I knew that when I finally emerged I would be someplace different then when I began.  When I started writing again, everything fell into place. And I could see my life in perspective—not as a victim but a victor!

Hope you will take the journey with me!

A Gradual Descent

A Gradual Descent

by | Blog

In my book, RAINBOW IN THE NIGHT: A JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION, I write about how I lived a very sheltered childhood while living in the small town of Independence, Iowa. This picture was taken in 1967, the year I graduated from high school.

Little did I know what would await me when I attended my first year of college. The “hippie” revolution was bursting forth on the scene throughout America, and I was not at all prepared to stand up to the peer pressure. It was a very confusing time in my life, which soon led to very poor decision making and a gradual descent into hopelessness.

The Staircase

The Staircase

In Chapter 1 of my book, RAINBOW IN THE NIGHT: A JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION, you’ll read about what life was like living in the main administration building of a large state mental hospital in the 1950’s. This was the staircase we used every day to leave the superintendent’s apartment, which was housed on the 2nd floor. 

The staircase spilled out into the main lobby, and we were treated like the “first family.” My father was so well respected as the superintendent that the staff would rise to their feet to greet him. He was definitely the patriarchal figure in the hospital.

A Place I Called Home

A Place I Called Home

by | Blog

In Chapter 1 of my book, RAINBOW IN THE NIGHT: A JOURNEY OF REDEMPTION, I write that my father (a psychiatrist) was offered a position to become the superintendent of a very large state mental hospital in Independence, Iowa.

We left St. Petersburg, FL in 1957 and drove to Iowa to make the move. It was a formidable structure, and we lived on the 2nd floor right in the administration building, which you see in this picture.

My childhood was quite interesting as you can imagine! There were 1100 mental patients when my father assumed his new position. To read more about my journey, click on any of the links below to get your copy!

Living a Life of Simplicity

Living a Life of Simplicity

by | Blog

On July 12th, National Simplicity Day is celebrated! This day is observed in honor of Henry David Thoreau, who was an advocate for living a life of simplicity. Take this opportunity to begin slowing down, enjoying nature and the simple life giving activities that replenish and nourish your soul. Consider decluttering mentally and physically while striving for more balance in your life.

Here for you…
