It’s probably not a surprise that I always wanted to be a writer. It’s all the things that came out of that dream that are surprising. And, just like most writers, it began with a love for reading.

Dry July: What I Learned After 31 Days of Sobriety
After too many virtual happy hours, it was time for a change.
Life is a mother
I’m in this super deep funk right now where I can’t see up from down. Sure, I can blame COVID, but this has been going on since way before we knew what it was like to SIP for months on end. In an attempt to purge myself of every block standing in the way of my writing, I’m going to be ultra vulnerable here and spew my stuff in this blog post. Get comfy. This is long.

It started on the day I turned 31, and my reaction to that day took me by surprise. Before I turned 31, I … Continue reading Gray hair, birthdays, and growing older with grace
Greetings from Kauai!
I thought I would write a couple of posts while I was here, but honestly, I'm having too much fun to be on the computer (besides cramming in a bit of homework in the early mornings. We're still on mainland time, which means we're waking up between 2:30 and 3:30 a.m. in the mornings, lol). … Continue reading Greetings from Kauai!
