Hi there!

Welcome to Following Sparks - a journey of rediscovery, resilience, and renewal.


I'm Mary, and I want to be completely honest with you: I'm not writing this from a place of having it all figured out. In fact, I'm right in the thick of one of life's most challenging chapters.

After years of feeling stuck, lost, and disconnected from my true self, I opened my eyes and found myself in a

situation I never imagined - over 2 flipping decades of emotional and financial abuse that now had me stuck and empty on every level. 

My first instinct was to make it all go away and fast. I tried the big stuff- the stuff guaranteed to work. And failed time and time again.

When you are already feeling empty and hopeless, this kind of failure hits in a special way. 

But here's the thing: it's in this very darkness that I began to search for even the tiniest sparks of hope and possibility.

And you know what? I found them. Small, flickering, but undeniably there. I’m talking tiny, microscopic sparks.

Following Sparks isn't about grand transformations or overnight success stories.


It's about the small, daily acts of courage that lead us back to ourselves.


It's about creating space in our lives for growth, rediscovering our passions, and building a life of purpose and joy - one tiny spark at a time.
