Glorygram

I’m Dorina – mama to 3 strong girls, widow, author, runner, foodie, wife to Shawn, lover of sunrises & sunsets.

When my first husband Ericlee died in 2014 from cancer, I didn’t think I could run again. I felt paralyzed without my partner. I was desperate to find a way forward on the path of grief. What I discovered is that it’s possible to navigate life’s greatest challenges by chasing God’s glory. He is the one who helps us walk, run, and soar.

Friend, are you staring down tough times? Does the path before you look like a steep uphill or an awfully windy road? I would love to run by your side. Let me show you how to be a glory chaser.

I love sharing a message of hope for a diversity of groups through spoken word, keynote addresses, podcast interviews, school assemblies, and Bible teaching. If you need a speaker for your group, let’s chat!

Are you a runner or walker? Running on a trail through the mountains or along the ocean is definitely my happy place.
