Collections of my writing to inspire and encourage

I started thinking of words for my blog, when ‘Breadcrumbs” popped in my mind. Breadcrumbs. The little morsels you search for and follow to keep on the right path.

The trail you leave so you can find your way back home. Yes, that’s it! My entries are the little morsels shared from my heart as I strive to live life well. Breadcrumbs, the little morsels God leaves for me as I seek to follow Him.

My hope is that others will read and be encouraged by something I say, although I know that it is okay if no one even reads it. I am writing because I know I need to. I am writing because I hope it matters to someone out there. I am writing because it matters to me.

Hi, I’m Janice!


I 'm glad you've found me here. I've always loved connecting with people and have a heart for relationships that inspire and encourage, lift up and cheer on. I believe we need this in big doses today! I know I do!

For years I have started each day reading and journaling. This time has been foundational to forming who I am. My hope is that as you read these entries from my journal, that you will find connection, hope, and a boost of encouragement.
