“Terri truly writes from the heart and her heart is 100% guided by her faith. Over the years I’ve gained a lot from her encouraging posts and most recently her social media campaign to highlight one friend/acquaintance each week of the year asking all of us to pray together for this person. She’s inspiring in her daily works and writings all guided by her faith.”
