Linda lives with her husband of 49 years in a little town tucked between the everchanging bay and the deep blue sea in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
A passionate blogging aficionado since 2008, she is devoted to nurturing her lively online community. Retired from private counseling practice, she now pens the PORCH weekend newsletter + occasional essays + the monthly BOOKBAG at her Substack home, Grace & Space. Her archives from 2015 - 2023 are here.

Linda’s faith in Jesus Christ defines and guides her life. These days she co-leads her church’s Stephen Ministry … and you might also find her jumping into a bit of off-the-cuff ministry coaching, dreaming up an innovative small group series, or counseling women in international ministry. She specializes in asking the hard questions with compassion, a whole lot of grace, and a smile.
Her grandchildren, ages 14-21, are her life and her joy … cheering them on from afar and banging on heaven’s door for their needs are her most important work. Her littlest grandchild lives in Heaven with Jesus.
Linda holds an M.S. in Christian Counseling from Cairn University and a B.S. in Organizational Management from Alliance University. She maintains board certifications in pastoral counseling and mental health coaching.
These days you'll find her curating her very own Little Log Cabin Road Library. Walking sandy lanes, wielding her phone to identify birdsong or capturing life through simple snapshots. Beachcombing, searching for the elusive sea glass along any and all shorelines. Or settling in with a mug of tea, hefty memoir or historical fiction in hand.
