About Me


Hey y'all! My name is Dianna. I am also known as Boo-Boo and Princess Di.  I'm a flip-flop wearin', Pepsi Zero drinkin', Bible readin' southern gal, born and raised in South Carolina. I love country music, travelin', and tellin' others about Jesus Christ.

I am also called wife, mom, and GiGi.  I am married to my Prince Charming, Chad. Together, we have 5 children.  I have two biological children--Jeremy (20) and Ava (14) and three bonus daughters-Skylar (26),  Emma (23), and Abbey (21). I also recently became a GiGi to Everett & Alora. We have two fur babies, Buddy and Teddy, who keep us entertained and tripping over them constantly! 

Past mistakes and bad choices had my life spinning in a downward spiral, but the Lord delivered me from a life of rebellion. He helped me see that my past doesn't define me. My future is bright as long as I allow His light to shine on it. He wants you to know the same thing. As of 2013, I refer to myself as a writer. It was then that God began to reveal a gift that has become a passion. On this site, you will find posts on topics ranging from parenting to spiritual growth. This space is where transparency is overflowing, and no perfect people are allowed.

Of all the names I am called, the best one is daughter. I am God’s daughter--his girl. When all the pressures of life weigh down, insecurities creep in, and things don’t go as planned, I can close my eyes, be still, and exhale, knowing that my Daddy in Heaven is in complete control. I am held in His arms just as an earthly father would hold his child here on earth. I am so thankful that He doesn’t judge me. He only loves me. And He loves you, too!

I invite you to travel with me as we journey this road of life together, through laughter and tears, by staying grounded in the word while fixing our eyes on our maker!




Bragging Rights
My first article was published in the Spring 2015 edition of Living Real magazine with a follow-up article. Since then, God opened the door for more publications. In addition, I am thankful to have been published in Precious, Precocious Moments by Yvonne Lehman and in Reach Out Columbia magazine.

Seasons of Life

  “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?”   Stevie Nicks wrote these lyrics in 1973. I have listened to Landslide more times than I can count, and each time it hits right in the gut. It’s a song about change. About fear, love, aging, and the quiet questions we all carry as life keeps moving forward.   As   I listened again recently, with the end of another year approaching, I found myself reflecting on the last twelve months. This has been a year! I’m not even sure what adjective fits best. Crazy maybe. Long. Unexpected.   Sometimes life throws so many curveballs at such an accelerated speed, all you can do is try to keep up so they don’t knock you down.   2025 has been filled with a plethora of lessons in love, humility , fear, doubt, grief, and joy. They didn’t all come easy. But then again, we were never promised easy.   In fa...

I Waited.

  I beckoned you to come near, but my way didn’t look like what you wanted.   The lights of the night drew you in, Pulling you into dark corners.   I waited.   You searched for acceptance   in people with empty promises and hollow souls.     You longed for love, not realizing it was mine you needed all along.   I waited.   You turned toward me in moments in need, in fear but each time, you pulled back thinking the distance was too great to cross.   I waited.   The end of your rope seemed to get longer.   Still, I waited.   Your choices led to pain. Things once whole began to fall apart.  What you held onto slipped through your hands.   I was there. I waited.   Then, gently, I opened your eyes to what you had been chasing And your heart to what had been chasing you all along.     And when you finally stopped running There I was,   exactly where I had always been. Waiting.

Journey with God

Did you know there’s a bird famous for holding the world record for the longest nonstop flight from Alaska all the way to Australia? It traveled over 8,000 miles in just 11 days! I stumbled upon an article about the Bar-tailed Godwit while mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, and I’ll admit, I didn’t know anything about this bird before. These fascinating shorebirds escape the harsh winter for warmer climates. My first thought was, why don’t they just stop somewhere closer along the way? According to experts, stopping earlier often means landing in places with less food, more competition and predators, and poor habitats for their long bills. The Godwit’s long nonstop flight reduces these dangers. Even more impressive, these birds begin preparing for their expedition several weeks in advance. They don’t need to eat during their journey because they gorge for 1 to 2 months before departure, building up fat reserves. A few weeks before migration, their digestive organs shrink to reduce ...
