I’m Michele—a wife, mama, Mimi, and victor by the grace of God.
I live tucked away in the beautiful hills of East Tennessee with my amazing country-boy husband (I truly adore him). My two sons and their sweet families are my heartbeat. Becoming “Mimi” is one of life’s greatest joys—it means giggles, snuggles, and the beautiful reminder that I’m leaving a legacy.
I love music and singing, adventure and travel, fireflies on warm summer nights, and crackling fires on chilly mornings. I believe in the power of laughter (especially at myself), and I try to leave a little sparkle everywhere I go.
But I haven’t always lived in light and freedom.
For 30 years, I endured marital abuse at the hands of a church minister. My world was steeped in confusion, silence, and spiritual manipulation. But my story doesn’t end in darkness.
By the power of Jesus, I’ve been transformed—from victim to victor.
Now, I help other women find the courage to rise, the clarity to heal, and the confidence to walk in the purpose God created them for. Through His amazing grace, unconditional love, and powerful healing, you can reclaim your life. And yes—you can laugh again.
So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and make yourself at home.
You’re not alone anymore.
Let’s press into the heart of Jesus—together.
If I can inspire a glimmer of hope in just one woman…
If I can empower one heart with the healing love of Jesus…
If I can help one woman reclaim God’s incredible, original design for her life…
If I can encourage one soul to rise above fear and live in victory…
Then Hope Glimmering will have exceeded every expectation.
And my journey—every tear, every triumph—will have been worth it all.
One woman at a time. One spark of hope. A lifetime of transformation.
As it continues to grow, Hope Glimmering will become a central online space for women seeking spiritual and emotional healing from life’s most difficult circumstances. Here, you’ll find a rich collection of resources—devotional thoughts, encouraging messages, podcasts, and videos—offered by myself and other trusted writers and speakers.
I’ll also share pieces of my own journey: stories of victorious living on the other side of pain, reflections from my ministry work around the world, glimpses into my travels, and maybe even the occasional recipe or lifestyle tip!
My heart’s vision for this space is simple but deep: that women will find a welcoming community where they can connect, be encouraged, and share life together—authentically, tenderly, and with hope that glimmers, even in the darkest places.
