: About Me

I am here in this world to contribute something and I look every day for what it is. In the meantime, I will do some creative things and hope for the best.

I work as a mental health therapist and try not to use my skills with my three boys who complain if I ask them things like "How are you feeling about that?" etc. My brain needs to escape from the difficult struggles I hear about and so I write.

My passion is ...

being gentle but truthful with others.

I know too much about ...

people who struggle.

My parents always told me ...

that having faith was everything..

My childhood ambition ...

To be an actress, singer, psychologist, biologist or writer.

My favorite memory ...

always comes from people who are kind to me without having to be.

Why I write ...

because it cannot all stay in me.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I am reading The Shack, Lullibies for Criminal Minds, The Dance of Connection, Boundaries, The Purpose Driven Life.

My first job ...

Waitress.

My best moment ...

Being accepted into theatre school

My inspiration ...

comes from people who struggle but are able to love others.
