I don't run but I love to walk around my neighbourhood and hike in the woods. I don't compete in triathlons but I do enjoy a friendly game of tennis. I'm not a competitive weight lifter but I'm quite fond of strength training in my basement with a girlfriend.
I'm a daughter with 3 older brothers, a wife of 10 years, a mother of 2 teenagers.
I'm an amateur photographer -- scratch that, I like to take pictures but don't know the first thing about cameras.
I've struggled with self-image and weight control all my life. I'm a member of Weight Watchers and attended Overeater's Anonymous until the meetings conflicted with my weekend addiction to garage sales.
My parents immigrated from Holland in the early 60s. I'm a little Dutch girl without the blond hair (real, that is) and blue eyes. I love croquettes, double zout drops and Suske & Wiske.
I was born and raised Catholic, and in 2001 I gave my heart to Jesus and started into relationship with Him. I love to pray and have had the priviledge to see many answers to prayers. I read my Bible daily by following a 365-day reading plan, and love to learn about this fascinating book.
I am embarking on a journey -- a spiritual and physical journey -- that I plan to write about here following the same format as is outlined in my book Fit for Faith. I invite you to join me in this adventure and share your thoughts!
