The Shiny New Penny

Welcome to my little corner of the internet,

where every day is a new beginning

and a new chance to shine!

I’m just God’s older gal—shiny and new every day,

sharing everyday moments of grace and glory

through the power of movement.

Whether I’m in a pink tutu,

flowing through yoga,

or throwing a high kick at 66,

I believe that movement is medicine and joy is holy!

This space is where flexibility meetrs faith,

where laughter lives alongside scripture,

and where aging isn’t something to fear—

it’s something to celebrate!

I’ve learned that just like a penny that still holds its value,

I’m living proof that God never stops polishing what belongs to Him.

That every line, every scar, every moment under the sun

has a purpose.

And you, my friend?

You’re being shaped, shined, and set apart too!

So come as you are—

scuffed, sparkling, searching, or soaring.

You’re not too late,

not too old, not too broken.

You’re being made new every single moment.

So let’s move, worship, laugh, stretch, and shine together—

in body, soul, and spirit!

Meet Penny!

A 66-years young,

child of God, movement specialist and forever student of life!

I’ve got a few decades under my belt,

a few wrinkles that I’ve earned,

and a whole lot of stories that shine with God's goodness.

I

My mother always said I could’nt sit still in my chair!

It’s my reminder that my body is His temple

and movement is my offering.

Through yoga, kickboxing, stretching, and stillness,

I’ve learned to listen more closely to His whispers

and feel His grace in even the smallest of moments

— a breeze, a breath, a stretch.

…and this is the place where I get to share those everyday glimpses of glory_

— the ones tucked into movement,

laughter, nature, and prayer.

It’s not about being perfect or polished —

it’s about being present, real,

and rooted in the truth

that we are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23).

If you’re walking into this season wondering if it’s too late —

to dream, to move, to shine —

let me remind you:

God’s not done.

You’re not done.

There is beauty in your becoming

and power in your presence.

Welcome to The Shiny New Penny —

where we celebrate aging with joy, worship with wonder,

and move through life

one grace-filled

moment at a time!
