Please meet "The Grid Iron Granny" - Patti J. Smith

I am a married, grandmother of two. I recently retired after working as a federal auditor, elementary school secretary and background investigator. I'm a caregiver to my parents and uncle and now have time to pursue my passion of writing. I have written poetry since childhood; however, heard the calling to write devotionals. Through my work I hope to spread the message of God's endless love, mercy and compassion. 

My ministries include co-leading Rachel's Hope Post-Abortion retreats in San Diego County and serving as a Regional Coordinator for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, travel and spending time with family and friends. I'm also a football fanatic (NFL and Fantasy) and a diehard Seattle Seahawks fan.
