I’m a middle-aged mom navigating midlife without a blueprint, while also figuring out the complexities of parenting two young adults and a teen. 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to write—to fill blank pages with words, spill the secrets of my mind onto paper, and bind them between covers in the hope they’d one day land in the hands of an avid reader.

While that dream is still unfolding, my blog became my outlet. It’s where I’ve documented cherished memories, processed life’s struggles, and written little love notes to my children—so that one day, they’ll look back and know that despite the missteps and hard days, they have always been deeply loved.

I joined Wordsmiths on a whim with two friends, and that small decision changed everything. It breathed new life into my dreams and helped me hone my craft. More than anything, this group has been an unwavering source of knowledge, encouragement, and support… and sometimes we laugh at stupid shit .
