About Me

Hello Friends! Welcome to the Moonlight Bella Blog—inspirational stories, poetry, decorating tips, recipes, book reviews, travel, lifestyle tips, and all things God. I launched TMB in 2013 as a community for people who needed some inspiration in their life, whether through a new recipe or a story about how God helped them, or through a motivational quote. If it’s positive or creative, I want it on my blog.

I have one mission with my blog—to be a light to the world around me and to encourage you to do the same. Come and read a story (or two), bake some delicious cookies (my favorite), journal with me, read one of the books I review (sooo good!), or come to ready my poetry. I welcome you into my life and hope that you’ll enjoy the company of my blog as if it were a good friend.

I hope you enjoy your time with me. Leave a comment or two, follow me on Instagram (@TheMoonlightBella), send me an email—I love to hear from my friends.

As for me, I’m a mama of three grown children, two furry doggies, and one handsome hubby. I’m a author (working on my first book now…prayers please), blogger, mama, crafter, wife, marketing consultant, and realtor. When I’m not writing, I’m thinking about writing (or eating chocolate chip cookies).

Thank you for following and I hope you enjoy your stay!
