About the host

Host profile image
I moved to this part of Texas in 2022 on a heart healing journey. I needed to close a door and open another one. I did not realize how a need and a dream would merge and show me not only how blessed I was but gave me the needed time and purpose to renew my life. Through it all, I was able to create something that would give back to others what I so desperately needed. To say that this is a wonderful place is not giving it justice. I still get that warm and fuzzy feeling every time I enter into it and it never gets old. Welcome to The Barn at Wayward Crossing!!
