A writer who lives twice.

Would it surprise you to hear I lead a double — even triple — life?

By turns I’m a writer at the keyboard, a speaker at the podium, a radio and podcast host behind the mic — and, always, a mother in a busy prairie kitchen. The thread through all of it is the same: paying attention to the ordinary until it gives up its grace.

I write and speak from Fargo, North Dakota — the Peace Garden State — where the meadowlark sings and the wild rose blooms along the road.
