Dear Friend,

Whether you’re here to write, to publish, to turn research into legacy, or to find strength after loss, you are welcome here.

My passion for writing goes beyond years of publishing, teaching, and earning my PhD. It was shaped in the depths of my own journey, through seasons of insecurity and profound grief, unexpectedly losing my mother, and one year later, my husband. Life felt loud, heavy, and uncertain… yet God was still speaking.

Writing became more than a skill. It became a refuge. A form of obedience. A way to breathe again. And grief required something else too: a safe place to be held, to heal, and to let God meet me with grace when words were hard to find.

Along the way, I longed for someone who understood the storms I was facing, someone who could offer both practical and spiritual guidance. That longing birthed Sapience Atelier, The Kingdom Writer Collection, Anchor & Grace Co., and its grief support divisions, Anchor & Harbor.

It would be my honor to walk alongside you, whether you're finishing the book God placed in you, shaping your message with excellence, bringing your scholarship to the world, or learning to live again after loss. You are not alone. I've seen how God honors a willing heart and brings beauty from broken places.

I am deeply committed to your growth, healing, and forward movement, one faithful step at a time.

With love and blessings,

The Harbor is Being Built

Anchor & Grace Co. is a resource company created to offer faith-centered grief resources and practical support tools to help you navigate loss with authenticity, hope, and steady grace. If your heart feels heavy, if the world kept moving while yours changed forever, I want you to know there is room here for your real story, your questions, your tears, your faith, and even the days you feel unsure. This vision was born at the intersection of my passion to write and a profound, personal experience of loss, where I encountered God's grace in a way that held me up and carried me forward. Out of that sacred place, Anchor & Grace Co. is being built to place meaningful, usable resources in your hands, so you can breathe again, take the next step, and feel supported as you learn to live forward without leaving love behind.

The Harbor (launching October 6th, 2026) is the grief and grace community where this vision comes alive, a space for widows and widowers where you don't have to rush your healing, explain your tears, or "be strong" for anyone else. Through 1:1 grief support coaching, grief circles, retreats, workshops, and travel experiences, The Harbor companions you through the real journey. Here, your grief isn't a problem to fix, it's love learning how to breathe in a new reality.
