ABOUT ME
This is my story.
The personal journey of…me. I am a blonde, and the antithesis of a blonde. I am a poet who sees life through the rose-colored glasses of what could be, rather than what is. I am…me, and this is my life.
I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, writer, musician and friend. I share my life with my high school sweetheart and best friend, Byron, and my four amazing children: Kayleigh, Ashley, Nate and Ethan.
I love my family, my friends, my church, and my dogs.
My passion is sharing the love of God with everyone around me - I am a Christ-follower and pastor’s wife who desires to break the mold. Love is my mission, and words are the best way for me to share it. I just want the world to know real PEACE.
Writing, for me is an act of freedom and passion. Words are like jewels to me, and beautiful thoughts are like the whispers of God…
Peace.

Hello, Angie, We chose the same template for our blogs. Yours is the first blog I have seen that looks similar to mine. Don’t you just love this look - so still, quiet and yet elegant? Good luck blogging. I hope your family and other writers stop by your blog often. Your quotes are indeed inspiring!
Ms. Place of Jane Austen’s World, http://janeaustensworld.wordpress.com/
Dear Ms., Thank you so much for your comments. I love Jane Austen, and my trip to England was truly a highlight.
God bless - Peace.
I was an English major in college, but have been away from that for many years, so forgive my lapses in literacy. My girls and I used to watch “Sense and Sensibility” on rainy days when they were little…Now I’m reminiscing!
Angie,
If you love Jane Austen, then let me be the first to direct you to Lori Smith’s “A Walk With Jane Austen.” Her journey of crisis and faith is inspiring.
I love this song choice by Janis Ian. She is a beautiful singer. Your blog is so inspiring. I am going to share the URL with my mother.
Here’s Lori’s blog. You can read the reviews about her Memoir here. http://janeaustenquotes.typepad.com/followingausten/
Ms. Place, thank you for your graciousness…may God bless you (and your mother). Have a peaceful day. Angie.
What a gorgeous family!
First things first angie,
Nice family you got there, just like the one i dream about - two boys and two girls. I couldnt possibly ask for more. Lol
I am loving your passion for christ too. I think i have met more bold christians on wordpress than any other place else i have been on the internet. I thank God for the spirit of boldness, even in this seemingly sinful cyberspace.
Always,
me,
tito.
