I’m a (mostly) healthy chef. You can find me cooking for private events, teaching in-home cooking classes, and in my kitchen coming up with new recipes. My best inspiration comes from traveling, as I explore a new culture through its food. Traveling allows me to experience the beauty and awesomeness of God’s creation – breathtaking vistas, spirited people, intricate creatures, and yes…indigenous bounties of fruits, vegetables, and seafood. And I can’t just keep all I see and do and eat and cook to myself…so come on an adventure with me!
When I met God At A Cherry Tree

When I met God At A Cherry Tree

Back in DC to meet with my neurosurgeon for the so-many-I’ve-lost-count-ith time.

Every flight into this city fills my earbuds with a symphony of emotionally charged notes. They dance around the lines from top to bottom, ebbing and flowing in dramatic crescendos—each one representing points in my history.

The times I came desperate for answers and departed with no clarity

The times I received life-altering diagnoses yet was washed in unexplainable peace

The times the list of surgeries was so long, there was no end in sight for me

The times my body felt so broken that I yearned for life to cease

The times I saw handprints of God’s love in a grove of cherry trees

The times I left in a wheelchair

The times I walked on miraculous feet

The times I experienced pain I didn’t know possible

The times I cried tears of relief 

But each and every note

Whether I recognized it or not

Carried my Father’s gentle whisper 

Guiding me to take just one more step 

And then another  

As He drew my gaze ever upward

To the only One who promises perfect peace

To all those who keep their eyes fixed on His
