Come in from the noise
Porch Light Pages is a slow, soulful newsletter for anyone craving gentle words and honest reflection.
When you sign up, you'll receive a free short story called, "Blackbirds Fly In Winter."
Gentle, honest, and deeply human.
On a bitter winter day, an eight-year-old girl follows her older brother into the woods,
trusting the frozen pond and his brave, familiar presence.
But when the ice gives way beneath her, time folds inward—and she begins to drift.
Blackbirds Fly in Winter is a gentle, haunting story of childhood wonder, loss,
and the mysterious presence that carries us through.
This free gift is part of a six-story collection I'm preparing to release soon--You're the first to read it!
In addition: Inside each edition of Porch Light Pages, you'll find:
-
Margin-sized truths for anxious or weary days
-
Small, soulful reflections from the counseling room and the writing desk
-
Encouragement for living with clarity, wholeness, and light
-
First peek at my book reviews & recommended reading
