: About Me

This quirky little blond is blessed with a strong sense of humor, an adventurous spirit and a zest for life that gives me a wonderfully unique perspective on the world, an unrelenting desire to continuously learn new things, and the ability to not take myself too seriously.

As a spiritual warrior, I strive to get out of my own way and celebrate the extraordinary gift of ordinary moments.

My passion is ...

traveling, learning, and telling stories.

I know too much about ...

Dunkin' Donuts' jelly filling procedures.

My parents always told me ...

to try my best.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a grown up so nobody could tell me what to do. How naive I was...

My favorite memory ...

is being in the delivery room to witness the birth of my oldest niece.

Why I write ...

to make people feel, think, remember and dream.

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

is "A New Earth"/my latest Netflix delivery/my heart.

My first job ...

was as a newspaper delivery girl.

My best moment ...

was the second I stopped worrying about what Society expected me to do and, instead, set out on my own unique path.

My inspiration ...

is every single person who refuses to just settle.
