Hi, I’m Nancy. 

I love a handful of really important things. I love writing. Words are my first love because they matter. Words change lives, move people, inspire, and give hope. They take us places and bring us home. I pray Jesus shines through the words I write.

I love people, my family, friends, and random strangers. I see God in their gifts, strengths, struggles, kindness, love, and compassion. I see hope through their courage and bravery. I love God more because of the people he has created. My prayer daily is to love deeply and be Jesus with skin on to those I meet. If this is my legacy, I will have lived well.

 

I love home. I love gathering people around a table, eating good food, and having sweet conversations. I cried real tears when I sold a dining table we had used for years when our kids were growing up. So many memories, meals, games, and moments were lived around that table, it was hard to see it go. 

 

I love Jesus. I love how he loved others and challenged the thinking of his day and continues to shake the world still. He is the real deal. I don’t always understand his ways or timing,  but He is always faithful.

 

I love hearing the stories of others. I believe there is power in embracing our story. Most of us have a great deal of messy woven into the fabric of our lives.  I’m a cancer survivor and have walked through heartbreaking seasons with each of my children. I believe life is both hard and beautiful.

 

If I am writing, coaching, speaking to a room full, or sharing coffee at a table for two, my passion is for you… and helping you to live a life filled with what matters most to your heart and soul. You are invited to contact me directly – hello@nancybouwens.com.
