Hello, and welcome.
I’m Tina, and I’m grateful you’re here. My husband Dan and I have been married for 30 years, and we are the parents of three sons and two wonderful daughters-in-law. Family life is a great joy for us, and most Sundays you’ll find us gathered together for brunch, conversation, and games — moments I never take for granted.
Writing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As the tenth of eleven children, stories and conversation filled our home. Even as a young adult, I found ways to write — from creating a family “newspaper” to sharing reflections and updates with those I loved.
I earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri–Columbia. For many years, I homeschooled our sons through high school and co-founded a homeschool co-op, which I helped lead for a decade. That season eventually led me to become a certified life coach, walking with others as they pursue growth with intention and faith.
My writing journey has unfolded over many years and is deeply rooted in prayer. Much of my inspiration comes during Eucharistic Adoration, where I spend time listening, reflecting, and writing in the presence of the Lord. Early in my writing life, my work appeared in Radiant Magazine, and through that experience my book was later published by Our Sunday Visitor. I continue to write when invited, including occasional contributions to The Catholic Miscellany.
I am also an Anchoress and a member of the Seven Sisters Apostolate, committing to a weekly Holy Hour for our parish priest — an hour that remains one of the most grounding and meaningful parts of my week. I am currently at work on another book born from this time of prayer and Adoration.
I am grateful to be part of the Catholic Writers Guild and my local Catholic writers’ critique group, where community and encouragement continue to shape my work.
If you’re here seeking encouragement, clarity, or a deeper prayer life, I’m glad you found your way here. Please know that if I come to know you, I will be praying for you.
“Benediction and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving, honor and power and
strength, to our God, forever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 7:12)
