Let’s be real on the internet.
Hi, I’m Mary, the writer behind Trusty Chucks. Since I learned how to put letters together to make words, I’ve been writing. Some of it’s been important, some of it hasn’t. But this process, this creating, helps me make sense of a world I don’t always understand. Maybe you feel that way sometimes, too? My hope for this place is that you find laughter, inspiration, and encouragement.
I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, with my husband, two daughters, and rescue dog, Blue. I have a bachelor’s degree in secondary English education and a master’s in curriculum and instruction. All that to say I teach high school English. It is, simultaneously, the best and worst job there is.
What I pray you leave here with: that life is imperfect, but we have hope in a perfect God.
Thanks for stopping by.
