Oma's Musings
Simple living, purposeful days, and a little wisdom for the journey.
A Little About Me
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m passionate about encouraging women to simplify life — in their homes, their minds, and their hearts. Through Oma’s Musings, I share practical tips and gentle wisdom from my own journey toward a more minimal and meaningful life.
Now in retirement, I’ve found more time to grow in God’s Word and to learn new things. Whether you’re an empty nester like me or a young mom in a busy season, I hope to offer encouragement and simple tools to help you find peace and joy in your everyday life.
I believe true contentment comes from living according to God’s Word. Through Jesus, we can experience a supernatural peace and a life filled with purpose.
I love to read, learn, and listen — and I consider it a joy to pass along what I’ve gathered so you can feel more inspired, informed, and a little less overwhelmed.
Let’s walk this journey together 💛
