About the author

I am a full-time Counselor from New Ringgold, Pennsylvania who works remotely from home conducting virtual sessions. I am also an active member of St. Ambrose Roman Catholic Church which I have attended since 1977. In my spare time, I care for stray and adopted cats. One of my childhood nicknames and the name that many extended family members still use to refer to me is "Darcy".

I grew up surrounded by people engaged in creative endeavors. My mother, Marcia Myers, had her own dance studio, and my father, Robert Myers, taught guitar and piano lessons. My brother, Al Myers, is a sculptor who made statues of famous people out of clay. My brother, Robert Jos Myers, taught guitar lessons, and was talented at drawing and writing. With most of my immediate family now deceased, I am fortunate to be nurtured at present by the next generation, my niece, Jeanie Myers Roach and her family, talented at acting and dancing. 

My greatest passion in life is creative writing and my favorite thing to write about is my deepest inspiration - my religious faith. I began writing spiritual reflections in 1998 when I belonged to a Catholic Young Adult Group and was responsible for planning activities to close our meetings. 

Over the years I made a lot of seasonal cakes for family gatherings but never thought of selling them until client referrals slowed down this summer and I had to think about what I could do for a side hustle. Preparing the cakes and the blog has become so much fun that it no longer is about the money.
