Welcome. I'm Judith and I believe our stories matter and the act of creating provides us glimpses of the sacred in the mundane. I am a writer of novels and essays and seek to uncover the sacred in the process of creating stories.
Freewriting can help in defeating writer’s block by focusing on progress over perfection. Your words don’t have to brilliant in the first draft.
When we embrace our creative life, we become vessels of love, beauty, joy, hope, and encouragement for those who cross our paths.
When we slow down and tune into life, creativity reveals to us the sacred moments we might otherwise miss.

I started an adventure with creativity on July 1, 2019 as a way of getting back to playing with words and writing for the sake of writing. I write and post reflections on writing, faith, and creativity and also focus on the writing of my novel, The Lost Journal. Join my email list to keep up with all things writing here.
My current work in progress, The Lost Journal, started from a writing prompt about coming across a journal in your grandmother’s attic. This prompt introduced me to three characters with whom I immediately fell in love. They invited me into their story and I obliged.
I believe we are all created and called to create. For me, my main gift is writing and I love to tell stories. But I encourage others to heed this sacred call to create, whether it’s a meal, a memory, a sculpture, a knitting project, or an adventure. Creativity uncovers the wonder of the world around us.
