Good morning on this beautiful fall day in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA.

My name is Valerie Jean Routhieaux. I wear a few hats. Some I’ve discarded over the decades, but some remain.

My first hat is Born Again Christian. I accepted my Savior and Lord on April 22, 1980.

My second hat is Mother. I have three children, six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

My third hat is Author. I began writing when I was a child, but I started on the publishing road in 1980. I published my first book in 2012. I now have nine published books and will have two more published next year. You can find all my books on Amazon.

My fourth hat is Friend. I like to believe I’m a friendly person with a few wonderful friends and many acquaintances. I’m always smiling. I love hugs and am told I give the best hugs.

Discarded Hat

Wife. I divorced in 1994 after 21 years of marriage. He has since passed from this life.

We all wear hats. What are yours?
