About Bridget:

I grew up angry at God. He was for other people. People who were undamaged. And since I believed He wasn’t for me, I was against Him.

It took over 20 years for me to allow God to speak. When I finally put my fists down, a flood of conversation and understanding was downloaded to me and I knew I had misunderstood His desire for me all along. Coming through that pivotal time in my life, I knew God was leading me to use my experiences to help others recognize His Presence in their own lives. This is what led me to get my certification as a Christian Life Coach.

I am a wife of over 30 years to my first and only boyfriend and have two magnificent daughters. I have a background in teaching, but my family has been the most splendid and redemptive classroom where God has shown me not only who He is but where He is. He has truly given me beauty for ashes.

Longing for Belonging

Left behind with an alcoholic father and a grandmother with undiagnosed dementia, a sickening, incurable loneliness was sealed into Bridget's spirit, and she felt certain the emptiness was forever.

Being accepted and loved can feel unattainable, impossible to find. Do you have a longing to belong that cannot be filled no matter where you search? Are you a victim of the grand lie that you are all alone?

No matter the reason you are feeling alone, Bridget's story will impart immense hope into your spirit. After being relentlessly and patiently pursued by a mysterious God she spent much of her life avoiding, Bridget heard the soul-soothing truth she shares on these pages: the longing for belonging can only be filled when you know the one you belong to.

In this lighthearted, thought-provoking account, the reader will come to know what God is saying to each of us: "I was there then. I am here now."
