As a mom, wife, and daughter of God, Heidi lives an ordinary life in the Midwest. Married almost 18 years to the one who holds her heart, she homeschools their youngest daughter having sent their two older children to private and public schools for the first time this year. Heidi's days are spent at volleyball practices, football games, homeschool co-op, prayer meetings, and at her favorite escape—the library. She finds time to bake bread, host sledding with her kids on snow days, and swim at a local community center. She has played in a F.R.O.G. and ridden in a Mighty Truck. She has also prayed many friends through the horrific battle of breast cancer. Her life is richer for the gift of these friends. Her busy schedule belies the the simple truths that form the foundation of her life: faith, grace, gratitude, generosity, and love. In some form or another, Heidi has imagined, shared, told, and written stories for as long as she can remember. Being called to share her stories has been a journey out of the ordinary. The Secret of Counting Gifts is her first published novel. Immensely grateful for her gift to craft words into stories that move readers from laughter to tears and back again, she is quick to credit the Creator for her talent. She continues to count her God-given gifts everyday. More of Heidi's thoughts, stories, and a collection of her Bible studies for children can be found on her blog, withthankfulhearts.blogspot.com.

BIO I grew up figure skating, until I eventually trained to enter Ice Capades. I remember performing on the ice at the Los Angeles Forum, while auditioning. It was so smooth I felt as if I was gliding on glass. The reactions of the panel were that my skating was good, but my thighs were too big. They went on to say that, with constant travel between shows, there'd be no time to repair costumes if the seams were split. Years later I was an instructor for Jack La Lannes Health Spa. Guess what? No more heavy thighs! It was not the kind of job with a future though. Later on, I was hired as a prop maker for Warner Bros. Studios. I worked on such shows as Wonder Woman, Fantasy Island, Eight Is Enough... I also took jobs on my own, designing and constructing stain glass windows. On the night of December 6th, 1978, while driving home I was broad sided by a truck. I fell into a coma and did not awaken for five weeks. Even though I did show slight signs of life, it still took me an additional five weeks to arrive at a state of awareness. Now that I'm awake, I have not stopped. Hurdle after hurdle might have slowed me down temporarily, but I knew there was a reason that I was still here. I even attempted to return to my old job at the studios, but was unable to keep up. Another hurdle... I graduated from LIFE BIBLE College in 1989. The complete story is in my book, HOW I BECAME A FEARLESS WOMAN by Pamela Jansen, which is now available online at Amazon, Ingram, Barnes & Noble, NACSCORP and Baker and Taylor. Featured in the book, Fearless Women: Midlife Portraits by Nancy Alspaugh and Marilyn Kentz, photography by Mary Ann Halpin. I speak to different groups about my story and how to never lose hope, or they will give in to that fear of defeat. Acting became a love of mine that I am not about to shake. I began studying in 2001 because, I realized... If I can't get there behind the camera, I'll get there in front! © Copyright 2012

Author bio:
I am W. Allan. I am a graduate Harris Teachers College and Washington University in St. Louis, Mizzery. I lived in Mizzery until I moved to Florida in 1984, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I have no background in writing, and if my English Comp. Teacher knew that my ABG column was read with some enthusiasm around the world today, she would roll over in her grave. Thank God for "Spell Check" and "Grammar Correction". If I were to be allowed only one word to describe myself it would be "curious". As far back as I can remember; I have been curious about why things were as they were. Of course, I realize now that things are as they are, only as far as my perceptions interpret them to be. I have learned that reality is not all that simple. Things are as they are, only to the extent, as they appear to be to the physical senses, and we all live in a world of appearances. I have learned that if you want to find what lies inside of the inside, you must to a large extent, set aside the intellect and release the intuitions. I guess you could classify me as a "wonderer", since I have always wondered about what lies beneath the physical world that our senses present to us. I always knew there was more to reality than was apparent to the casual observer, and at that time I was a casual observer. I now reside in Bonita Springs, on the outskirts of Naples Florida. I sometimes use Naples as my place or residence, rather than Bonita Springs, simply because Naples is more well known. I have lived in Florida for some 25 years now, moving here in 1984 from St. Louis. I began writing articles some 15 years ago for a few spiritual/metaphysical magazines, but found early on that I always met with some frustration, since the normal magazine allots only 1000 words or about 1 full page to their articles, one page and no more. I learned early on that I just could not explain the difficult universal concepts that I wanted to talk about in 1000 words or less, so I quit doing that. Sometime later, I stumbled on the blog format and set up the "ANSWERS BY GOD" blog web site. This blog format offered me more latitude in writing my articles and the available space only limited by my own good sense, which I have never been accused of exercising too rigorously in the past. I still found this inadequate, since my goal was to help others understand concepts that are barely able to be grasped by the human brain, and that kind of knowledge cannot be explained in 500 words or less. So now, thanks to technology and the e-publishing book format, I can finally fully express my ideas and concepts, as I never could in the past. The ABG blog web site contains hundreds of articles, condensed in content to fit the blog format, but it's a great place to review the nature of my book material. The "Enigma" books allow me to elaborate on some articles carried in the blog, but there is much more. One important thing I have learned is that the individual personality knows no limitations. Translation; you can truly be whatever you believe you can be, so don't sell yourself short. Believe big.

She touches many lives by using her personal experiences and expertise to help others grow. She has always been a student of personal development and committed to having goals. After four years of marriage and two babies, her commitment to personal development and faith in her own ability to achieve her dreams was certainly put to the test. Her husband was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and heart disease; he eventually had to give up a successful law practice and stay at home. As the couple struggled to juggle their finances, health issues, and growing children, they were living by default instead of deliberately. Even though Julia knew intellectually what she should do, she did not have role models to help her clarify her thoughts and apply those skills in a practical way to her own life. She managed to keep a positive attitude, but it took nearly fifteen years for her to find life balance and a sense of control in her life. From her own personal experience, she knows that there are many individuals who could learn to live a more fulfilling life if they knew that they could simply make a choice to do that. Her books, Joy is Simply a Choice and Abundance is Simply a Choice reflect that hard-earned wisdom.
