Why hello!  My name is Heather and I am a stay-at-home parent, writer, volunteer, and traveler.  Within the following posts of  persmission2speakfreely, I share compelling personal stories, interview fascinating people, and “figure stuff out” by doing a ton of research and putting my spin on various random topics (like serial killers and my interesting Gen X childhood).  My background is in politics and I have worked and volunteered on Capitol Hill for many years. I also embarked on a brief career in surveillance investigation. In my free time, I like to do fun family activities, read, travel, camp, hike, play games, and have deep conversations with good friends.  It’s hard to pin me down and you don’t put baby in a corner, but if I had to summarize the reason I blog, it would be that I like to share interesting stories that point people to God – because God really is the lead writer and Editor in Chief of every story. I recently wrote a book on the topic of deliverance and spiritual warfare!  In a nutshell, the book tells my story of what drove me to seek a Christian deliverance, how a friend and I then started our own make-shift deliverance ministry, and how I learned to broadly apply the principles of spiritual warfare all over the place to reduce demonic activity in other people (like my kids) and places (like my home – goodbye ghosts!). Here is a link to my book: A Path to Freedom Through Deliverance: Reducing Demonic Activity in People and Places: Pulkstenis, Heather, Anthony, Tamatha, Appleby, Dr. David: 9781965016084: Amazon.com: Books

Please subscribe to my blog! My GEN X post is by far my most popular. Did you know that GEN X kids were the least parented and least nurtured children in U.S. history?  Check out my post: 

Generation X: the least parented generation in U.S. history is quietly raising their kids and ruling the world

This is my second most popular post: What happened to Sarah and Jacob? A conversation with their aunt – Raelane Turner.

I am an over-protective mom of two beautiful teenage girls (and one boy), so I decided to do a “ton of research” over a period of four months to learn about all things pertaining to serial killers and other bad guys (and how to avoid them).  So here is all the work that you didn’t have to do:  Protecting our Girls from Serial Killers – Part I.

My daughter Khloe, who grew up in an orphanage for most of her childhood, tells about how hard and scary it was to come to America in her own words: My Adoption Story (by Khloe, Age 13).

It was practically a miracle that we even adopted our beautiful son.  Find out why here: Little Boy Lost (Logan’s adoption story).

I wasn’t overly thrilled with adoption and had a lot of fears, but we finally became parents here: a long awaited mother’s day.

Erik and I struggle with infertility (as you may have already guessed), and we share how we came to terms with that here: Infertility and Adoption – How I made peace with both.

I should never have landed a job working on Capitol Hill for so many reasons.  But I did.  Read my unique and honest story here: From the valley to the hill (part 1).

My husband’s grandmother survived WWII due to her own perseverance and God’s amazing protection. Read her story here: Escape from Latvia -Anna’s story, Part I.
