About Heidi

I was raised in a small town in Ohio where my best friend lived a few blocks down the street; we neighbored across backyards, and everyone knew everything about each other’s lives. I soaked up singing at every opportunity. I sang in school musicals, weddings, and on praise teams at church throughout my entire youth and young adult life. I also enjoyed reading, but I liked writing about life through journaling even more. 

I married Jeff, the love of my life, on August 18, 1984. We raised two wonderful children together, and those are some of my fondest memories. I loved being a mom, and I still do love that role (now as a mom-friend to our adult children). I later worked as a medical transcriptionist for 16 years before stopping to take care of my beloved parents in the midst of their aging years and failing health.

I am now “Mimi” to two adorable grandchildren (if I do say so myself!) who are pure joy. Children have a way of helping us see through hopeful eyes again and simply live in the moment.

We also have a furry little member of our family, “Mr. Max,” a Yorkie who has a mind of his own but is dearly loved (and a bit spoiled).
