Ardis is a catalyst who creates movement wherever she goes! She is the one who is helping me figure out the kinks to the Identity Interviews.

Don't miss her interview later this week.  She has much to teach us about the fruit of perseverance; what happens when we never give up!

Ardis Nelson: Bio

I am a mother of two wonderful teenage young men and a dedicated wife of 29 years. I also have extended family in Spain that includes another young man, whom I affectionately consider my son, and his mother.

When I’m not writing I’m usually engaged in some type of healing or recovery ministry. I am a big supporter of Christian 12-step groups, like Celebrate Recovery.  Step 12 calls us to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. My writing and speaking are my “12th Step”, where healing turns to hope.

My writing includes regularly blogging at ardisanelson.com/makingmebold/, contributing to my publisher's blog, journeystomotherlove.com and the inclusion of my story, “Walking My Mother Home”, in the compilation, “Journeys to Mother Love”.

My hobbies and spare time are devoted to photography, scrapbooking, reading, and writing my memoir. My family and I reside in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington.
