You Thought Life Would Make Sense by Now. Instead, You’re Older, Wiser… and Still Asking, “Who’s Running This Place?"
Discover a warm, funny, faith-filled book that helps you make sense of life’s twists and turns—and find the courage to take your next step.
Dear Fellow Traveler,
Have you ever looked at your life and thought:
“This isn’t what I ordered.”
You tried to do the right things. Work hard. Be kind. Make sensible decisions. Occasionally eat something that wasn’t wrapped in pastry.
And what happened?
Life changed the itinerary.
No warning. No explanation. No customer service number.
You’re standing there with your carefully prepared plans, and life says, “Lovely. We won’t be using those.”
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re here, what your life means, or how to keep going when nothing makes sense, I wrote The Timeless Path—Find Your Way Home with you in mind.
Because sometimes you need a little light for the next step, and a laugh before you take it.

The Timeless Path is a Story About YOU. Your Life, Your Journey.
As you travel through it's pages, you may find that some of your adventures are similar to mine.
Perhaps you’re dealing with a disappointment you never saw coming.
Perhaps you’re wondering what comes next.
Or perhaps everything looks fine from the outside—but inside, you’re holding an emergency meeting, and every voice in your head wants the floor.
One says, “Have faith.”
Another says, “Make a plan.”
A third says, “We should have married the doctor.”
Meanwhile, you’re trying to answer questions that refuse to disappear when you turn off the light:
- Why did this happen to me?
- Have I wasted too much time?
- What am I supposed to do now?
- How do I trust the Creator of the Timeless Path when I can’t see where I’m going?
- Is there still something meaningful ahead of me?
Those questions deserve more than “Stay positive.” Tell a worried person to stay positive, and you’ve given them another job. Now they’re worried about being cheerful.
You need encouragement with some substance, wisdom you can recognize in your own life, and room to admit that some days, simply getting through the day takes courage.

Inside, The Timeless Path helps you uncover the wisdom life has been trying to teach you.
Apparently, the first seventeen hints weren’t enough.
- YOU'LL SEE SETBACKS DIFFERENTLY - They’re supposed to build character. At this point, you should have enough character to open a franchise.
- YOU'LL STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS - Other people's lives look perfect online. So does the hamburger in the advertisement.
- GROWTH CAN FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AT TIMES - They told me to stretch myself. Now my sleeves are too short.
- YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH IN UNCERTAIN TIMES - Especially when your five-year plan has been reduced to “Let’s see how lunch goes.”
- YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP WITH COURAGE - You needn’t resolve your entire future before moving forward. This is your life, not a planning application.
