Faith, Grit, and a Thousand Miles of Words
The 50 by 50 Challenge
I just turned 48. Instead of slowing down, I’m speeding up.
For the next two years, I’m running an open, faith-fueled experiment to find out what happens when identity drives transformation.
The Challenge
• Publish 50 books 📚
• Complete 50 10Ks 🏃♀️
• Transform 50 lives ❤️
This isn’t about achieving my way into awesomeness.
It’s about living from who God already made me to be...and helping others do the same.
Why Take on This Challenge?
📚 50 Books
Because I already have that many stories in various stages of creation spanning faith, fiction, and transformation. Finishing them will clear the creative runway so I can finally complete my Dragon Stalker Series.
What’s on the shelf:
• Anchored Faith Series → answers core questions about God, truth, identity & lifestyle
• Creative DNA Series → the art, process, & business of storytelling
• Adventurous Author Series → novellas that fictionalize the Creative DNA concepts
• Everrlyn Series → children’s stories for foster & adoptive kids, teaching emotional intelligence through anthropomorphic animals
• Zella Zeal Series → children’s stories for Christian families that bring biblical truth to life through a quirky imagination
🏃♀️ 50 10Ks
Because I want my body to stay as strong as my faith.
Maintaining 6.2-mile endurance level keeps me alert, joyful, and disciplined for the creative race ahead.
Side note: these aren't "official" races (although I plan to have a few sprinkled in for fun). But they are outdoor adventures that will have me running/walking/hiking/biking 6.2 consecutive miles at least 50 times throughout these two years.
❤️ 50 Lives
Because transformation multiplies.
My dream is to bring other authors along and teach what I’m learning. I have a crazy desire to spark a movement of identity-first storytellers who change culture through truth and imagination.
