✨ On Tuesday, I had the amazing opportunity to share my author journey at People’s Church Phemom, a story that began with a shy little girl who grew up afraid to be seen… and somehow found her courage through a tiny poodle named Nyx 🐾 and a big dream called Grace and Waffles. 💕
I talked about how fear doesn’t always disappear. Sometimes, you just learn to move forward with it.
How a spark of an idea can grow into something beautiful when you say “yes” to that quiet voice God places on your heart. ✨
From creating my first children’s book with no idea where to start (thank goodness for YouTube 😅) to self-publishing, learning about ISBNs, LCCNs, and everything in between, every step has been a mix of faith, courage, and tea. ☕️
And standing in front of that room full of women and grandmothers reminded me:
Sometimes bravery looks like writing a book.
Sometimes it looks like sharing your story out loud.
And sometimes… it looks like doing both. 💗
📚 Grace & Waffles Adventures — Heartfelt stories for growing hearts 💕
✨ Slow mornings, sketching characters, and a sleepy pup by my side 🐾
Creating stories that help quiet kids feel seen is my favorite kind of magic.
💕 Grace and Waffles remind us that friendship and bravery go hand in hand.
🐶 P.S. Nyx takes her assistant illustrator job very seriously… especially when naps are involved. 😴
