To live life looking forward is a meaningful goal, but it requires awareness and effort. Pat's challenges of marriage, motherhood, and life itself were the catalysts for her debut memoir, Patterns From My Heart - Memories, Muses, and Miracles. This book contains a collection of children's stories, poetry, paintings, and recipes that have shaped Pat's life and inspired those around her. At age 80, Pat fulfilled a life-long dream of becoming a published author. In all of Pat's musings, she encourages you to embrace uncertainty, live with meaning, and cherish every moment.
