The 5 foot Mexican king snake's fangs impaled my hand in front of a classroom of 3rd graders.
I looked into its unblinking eyes and thought,
Jeanie, you've programmed computers, done medical scheduling, worked everything from customer relations to electronic assembly. Isn't it time to follow your heart and write?
But after Lurch the snake "unhanded" me, I spend another decade in disjointed career choices, including a disastrous stint with the US Postal Service.
Hint: People with numeric dyslexia should avoid work that primarily includes numbers.
Is this address 1203 Main Street? Or 1302 Main Street? Um, maybe 2103 Main Street...
Now I'm finally following my dream--writing stories laced with hope, humor, and encouragement to share God's incredible, amazing love for us all.
Could I do this on my own? (Pardon me while I dissolve into hysterical laughter.)
God blessed me with a wonderful support system--my husband Jake, family, friends, our Bible Truth Ministries church family, and the Wordsowers Christian Writer's Group among others.

Enough about me. How about you? If I can follow my dreams, you can too.
What dream has God placed in your heart? I'd love to hear, help, and cheer you on.
