How We Got Started

Writing devotions was my way of journaling my thoughts. I was encouraged by friends and family to put them into a book, so "Bloom Where You're Planted" was released in 2016.

As a Christian author and speaker, Mary’s objective is to point you toward Jesus. Her words are simple, and her examples are relatable. You will find encouragement and inspiration, because Mary is a “seed planter.” The person who sees a glimmer of hope in the small day-to-day routines of life. She bases her ministry on Romans 1:12. “When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.

Mary resides in Radnor, Ohio with her husband, Jim. Together they enjoy farm life, hard work, vacations, family and friends. She is a farm girl who discovered her niche as a Christian author and speaker. Mary loves sharing about the Lord through both her written and spoken words. Mary’s life is an open book as she shares her joys, struggles and embarrassing moments.

As long as I have ideas, I will be writing. Since I write devotionals and Bible studies, it is like journaling my own thoughts and so rewarding. The more I write, the more I grow as a Christian.

I have the unique ability to take an everyday circumstance and see Jesus in the situation. My devotionals and speaking come from these situations. From "Bird Poop" to "Happy Place" you will find humor, joy and happiness in my devotionals. (more) I have the unique ability to take an everyday circumstance and see Jesus in the situation.

I'm really not sure he ever tried, as we had the same discussions for months. Once I decided to go the route of self publishing with the assistance of Legacy Lane Publishing for knowledge and marketing expertise my books began to sell.

My stories which are turned into devotionals come from different travels in my life, but they also come from being home or on the farm. (more) My stories which are turned into devotionals come from different travels in my life, but they also come from being home or on the farm.
