    About this ebook

    When asked, "What is poetry?" my response might be, "Poetry is the language of the soul that sees the human experience, understands the feelings, and gives meaning to the journey. I might even describe it as the musical score of the heart, sung from our lips, seen and heard with our ears and eyes." For This Life and Love: A Grace in Time, is a reflection of the many sides of life, reminding us of this gift we get to experience every day and have the privilege to watch it unfold through the moments of time, each with their own rhythm and rhyme, helping us to see the goodness, of our belonging.

      Committing to our seven-year dream of opening a brewpub wasn’t possible for my husband and me without a move from our 4-acre hobby farm to a 700-square-foot apartment behind the future brewery. Relocating was necessary to make our new jobs as full-ti

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’
