Hoping
He would be 51 this year. Am I going to think about his age every August? Absolutely. He was my best friend. My biggest supporter. He wanted to give me the world, but he settled for a house. All I can do is write about him so that I can share stories of him to… Continue reading

Who Am I?
I realized for as long as I’ve been writing on this website I haven’t truly introduced myself. I write a lot of fiction and sprinkle it with non-fiction here and there. So what is true? I quit my job nearly two months ago to pursue a career in something I’m passionate about. Not that I… Continue reading

Some Days…

Iceberg
When I woke up Jake was still asleep. I was kind of glad, I didn’t want to talk to him. I didn’t know how to talk to him anymore. I planned on going to the store today and then doing whatever else for many hours just so I wouldn’t have to be here. I went… Continue reading

Goodbyes
I always think it will be easier the next time I say goodbye to one of my toddlers. I tell myself that they won’t even remember this time in their life. I tell myself that no one can compare to the first kid who made me their work mom. But the truth is it never… Continue reading

Change
I do not know about you, but it’s hard for me to adjust to something new. Last week I started a new job. I had a panic attack the night before. Everything would change once I started my job, and it freaked me out. I was so used to living life inside with my pet… 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.
