I’m Heather. I’m an author, speaker, and Bible teacher.
I’m also a survivor of Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissue disorder that makes blood vessels, arteries, and organs prone to spontaneous rupture. I help women find the courage to live by faith, especially when they don’t like their story. I think it takes great courage to face this broken world. I know this because I face it every day with a terminal, incurable disorder.
So my goal is to help you trust in God, face your greatest fears, and choose life, especially when life presents its most difficult circumstances. To do that, I speak and teach at women’s events, write and teach Bible studies, post encouraging things here on the blog and to my VIP email peeps, and serve as a regular contributor for Journey magazine.
To me, living with courage looks like putting two feet on the floor in the morning when you don’t like your story. You too? Let’s do it together by clinging to God’s grace.

"I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the Determined Study. It has been the most eye opening study for me. It has also been my favorite. I already see God moving through it in my life in more ways than one."
- Cherry S.

THE FANCY BIO
Heather M. Dixon is an author, speaker, and Bible teacher who understands living with a story that is not easy. Diagnosed with an incurable and terminal genetic disorder that she inherited from her mother, she is passionate about encouraging and equipping women to trust in God, face their greatest fears, and live with hope, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances. When she is not blogging at The Rescued Letters or speaking at women’s conferences and events, Heather loves to make the most of everyday moments such as cooking for her husband and son, checking out way too many library books, or unashamedly indulging in her love for all things Disney. Heather is a regular contributor to Journey magazine and the author of three Bible studies including Determined: Living Like Jesus in Every Moment and Renewed: Finding Hope When You Don't Like Your Story.
