She is passionate about coming alongside those in the cancer valley and encouraging them. Strength Renewed is her book of 90 meditations for all those in that situation, whether as patients, survivors or those who care.

Her most recent book is her debut novel, Returning to Amanda, the first in the Aloevale series. More details about her writing can be seen on her Amazon Author Page.

But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”
