Who Am I?

My name is Rachel Hayden.  I work full time in a management capacity but am also a full-time wife, graduate student, and home-based business owner.  My wonderful husband and I are an interracial couple, which adds a unique dynamic and perspective to our marriage.  I am a convert to the Catholic faith from Protestantism (specifically an upbringing with Baptist and Methodist influences and later as a practicing member of the United Methodist Church) and my husband is a cradle Catholic.  In my spare time, I work as a country folk artist that specializes in handmade dolls.  A professional writer I am not - writing is merely a passion.  I love writing both fiction and non-fiction and find such joy in putting words to paper.  I do not claim to be a religious expert and I do not speak for the Roman Catholic Church.  However, I do love Jesus Christ and His Church and strive to live my life with a Catholic world view every day.  I have a passion for log cabins, country living, American history, heritage crafts, spending time in nature, and doing things the way my ancestors would have done.  I love all things rustic and rural and strive for simplicity in everything I do!
