Hi, I'm Shirley Kalpin-Olson, a mother, grandmother and registered nurse. All my life I felt the need in my heart to help the sad, hurt and lonely. I worked in the hospital during my high school years as an nurse's aide. After high school I went on to nursing school and received my Practical Nurse's license, and worked part-time while raising our five sons. When our sons became older, I returned to my nursing and received my registered nurses degree and graduated the same year as my second son graduated from high school. I continued to work part-time as a hospital nurse. While working I would see the many people who dealt with unhappiness and pain. My heart went out to everyone of these wonderful people. After my first husband passed away in 1999, I was inspired to use the gift of writing stories, which I believe God had given me to help others. In 2003 I remarried and my husband Jim is now my helper in my endeavor.
I hope the words of inspiration, inspired by our great God will be an inspiration and help when you travel through trials during your lives. God Bless you all and give you hope, health, peace, love, comfort and joy.

My husband, Jim has been a faithful friend and helper as we travel together in this endeavor to help others.
We are both retired but continue to keep active doing gardening, yard work, house work in both our house and our cabin.
We live in Minnesota and enjoy the great life God has given us.
We enjoy our many children, grandchildren and recently our great-grandchildren and plan to keep the love, peace, and joy in our lives until God calls us to our eternal home.
