Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. I’m so glad you found your way here. My name is Ellen, and I am excited to share many of the experiences and passions I’ve had in my life.

I’ll cover my latest journey moving from writer to author.   A journey that encompasses navigating the balance of serious medical issues, primarily as an Alzheimer’s caregiver, motherhood, marriage and personal struggles and triumphs.

Along the way,  inspirational stories were crafted through my immense affection for friends, family, photography and travel.  These experiences sparked a dialogue that I feel compelled to share with you. It is with many hours spent in prayer and patience, that I am here to take the first step in illuminating the stories of my life.  I’ve picked up my pen and paper again and find it is a perfect season in my life to share some of those stories with you.

I am a proud Louisiana native. Having Cajun blood running through my veins, I appreciate good food,  good music, and good times with family and friends. After sixty years in Cajun country, I’ve recently retired to the Hill Country of Texas with my husband of 42 years.

I share my books with you to inspire, entertain, and educate you.  Enjoy!

With a smile and a happy heart,

Elle
