"As the sun sets, casting its brilliant golden hues across the sky, I am reminded of the profound words from Isaiah 60:1, 'Arise, shine, for your light has come!' Standing in warrior pose, clad in a flowing dress, I feel the light within me stir

My parents may have named me Penny, but somewhere along the way I realized God had given me another name...

The Shiny New Penny.

Tell me, have you ever spotted a shiny penny on the sidewalk?

You know you weren't really looking for it.

Yet, somehow it caught the light, caught your eye, and made you stop.

You smiled as You picked it up.

And for just a moment, something ordinary became your little treasure.

That’s what got me wondering?

Perhaps that is how God wants us to see His world.

Lately, I’ve been discovering most every day

how He scatters treasures along our way.

A sunrise.

A child's laughter.

A bird singing before dawn.

A mountain view.

A quiet answer to prayer.

Strength for one more step.

A peace that makes no sense.

I know I’ve hurry right past them.

Not because they weren’t there...

But because I simply was not looking.

I've discovered something beautiful though,

The more I notice God...

the more I love Him.

The more I love Him...

the more thankful I become.

And the more thankful I become...

the easier it is to trust Him.

Maybe gratitude doesn't begin with saying "thank You."

Maybe it begins by paying attention.

That's what this little corner of the world is all about.

Not chasing extraordinary moments...

but discovering that God has been filling ordinary ones with His glory all along.

That His art is always on display!

My prayer isn't that you'll remember me.

It's that one day you'll be walking through your own ordinary Tuesday...

see something beautiful...

and smile because you remembered to look for God.

Kind of like finding a shiny new penny!

…and a little about me

Hi, I'm Penny.

I'm a wife, mom, yoga teacher, former karate instructor, fashion enthusiast and lifelong girl who still can’t sit still in her chair like her mom always said! I’m also a woman who still believes life gets more beautiful when we keep saying "yes" to it.

I've spent a lifetime exploring what the human body can do—from dance and gymnastics to martial arts, yoga, and joyful movement in nature. But more than anything, I've discovered that movement isn't just exercise...it's gratitude in motion. It's one of the ways I worship, celebrate life, and marvel at the incredible way God designed us.

You'll often find me doing yoga in a flowing dress on a mountain, laughing in the snow, balancing on a rock, or finding beauty in the most ordinary places. Those moments remind me that God is always creating masterpieces—we simply have to slow down and notice them.

My hope is that, when you spend time here, you'll leave with a little more joy, a little more wonder, a little more courage, and a deeper appreciation for the God whose fingerprints are all around us.

Welcome... I'm so glad you stopped by!
