Things that Make the Heart go !!!
A message from my love when I haven’t heard from him all day and he’s been skiing. When someone comes into the lounge at work and sits down and there’s an awkward silence and I take one of my headphones off to be polite, but we end up sitting in silence the entire time. When… Continue reading

The Last Farewell
I sit by the phone, waiting eagerly for any noise or movement from it. It’s hot, way too hot to be still. I take a few sips of water and wish it could be evening already, my Dad will be here then and it always gets cool at noon. This is probably the way my… Continue reading

Excerpt From a Book I’ll Never Write
It was impossible to see anything under all this fog. No matter how much Diana tried squinting her eyes, it was still difficult to make out what was in front of her. She knew it was nighttime. It was colder than most days. Diana rubbed her arms fiercely and clenched her jaw to keep from… Continue reading

Grief Bursts
The thing about these bursts is that they happen when you start to think you’ll be okay. I was in the middle of a grocery store the first time I got one. It’s the most mundane of tasks that cause them for me. In between aisle with all of the Gatorade, pop, and oversized chocolate… 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.
