Hi, I'm Trish, and I created the website, "Inspired Writing," as a service to God's Kingdom and to share my spiritual journey and the amazing love and light I've gained from my walk with Him.
The most important thing about this period of my life is how much God is helping me become who He has created me to be.
A lot has gone on in the last few years, and my father's time to leave this earth in February 2020 is first and foremost among those things. Quitting my job to be my own boss (although I consider God my CEO), loss of relationships and lifestyle, I realized that despite the darkness in my isolation, God is working in all of this!
There were many times I just wanted to give up, but literally by His grace I didn't. He pushed me through so much over the last two years - my debilitating grief, finishing my MPA, leading me out of a job where I was not thriving, and taking good care of my mom. I'm still pushing through this difficult period through Christ who strengthens me, and I count it all joy!
It's on my heart to encourage others to push through their spiritual path because I know how difficult it can be, especially if you're on your own in the physical world, and because the alternative would be walking in the ego and not living our kingdom purpose.
Let not your heart be troubled! God is with us in the spiritual.
I live in beautiful Upstate New York and have a passion for teaching, writing, and traveling God's earth and capturing the beauty of nature on camera, which I hope to share on this website.
I'm an ESL teacher by training and hold an M.S.Ed. in Second Language Education as well as a Master of Public Administration. At the end of 2021, I left 10 years of academia and classroom teaching to share my learned wisdom and experiences through coaching and writing full time,
Currently, I'm working on my first book, an inspirational podcast, and an online teaching website.
