“Everything ends, and that’s always sad. But then everything begins too, and that’s always happy.”
“Everything ends, and that’s always sad. But everything begins too, and that’s always happy.” My grandmother died on October 3rd. I met her twice in my life, yet I still felt a pang in my chest when I read the words, “your grandmother died last night.” It was the first message I read when I… Continue reading
About Me
Hi there! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my blog. I write fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between.
In my free time, I like to keep busy with a variety of hobbies. I’m an avid reader and writer, I love to knit, crochet, and embroider.
At the end of the day, though, my main priority is spending time with my loved ones. Whether it’s traveling or just spending quality time together, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by those I care about.
