She Is More Than Enough
Words to help you walk in your God-given identity.
Celebrating Self-Worth in Christ
I am loved. Not because of what I do but because of who I belong to.
Writing as a Form of Worship
Gracious words are like honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Finding Humour in Faith
A cheerful heart is good medicine. There is one thing I never want to be: a lemon sucker.
Embracing Your Identity
We are loved unconditionally. We are forgiven and redeemed. We are chosen and valued.
Hi, I’m Nicki.
I write humorous short stories, memoir, and a Christian fantasy novel about an ordinary woman called to do extraordinary things. I share my days on the Bellarine with two opinionated cairn terriers and a God who keeps proving He is more interested in shaping my character than satisfying my tastes.
