Gifts of Gratitude
A Journey of Remembrance and Connection
In Gifts of Gratitude, I reflect on the power of appreciation through the lens of my Midwest childhood in the '70s and '80s.
It's the simple, ordinary moments, the ones made extraordinary by the people who shaped me, brought back to life on the page.
The book blends nostalgic memory with thoughtful prompts that invite you to pause, reflect, and share your own gratitude. A childhood joy. A quiet act of kindness. A lesson you didn't know you were learning at the time. Each reflection is a chance to connect more deeply — with yourself, and with the people who made you who you are.
It's a gentle reminder that it's never too late to say thank you.

The companion workbook
The Gratitude Keepsake is guided space to do the work the book invites — your own prompts, your own people, your own stories, in one place you can keep for yourself or share.
I’m a contributing author in Rediscovering You: A Guide to Life After Divorce — a collaborative book of real stories from women who faced the heartbreak of divorce and found strength, clarity, and purpose on the other side. Alongside nine other women, I share my own story, in the hope of reminding someone in the early days: you're not alone in this.
