I live with my two dogs, Ilan and Pika, at the end of a quiet cul de sac. Nature is my soul-medicine. I'm most at home swimming in the ocean or sauntering in the mountains. I enjoy martial arts; kickboxing and jiu jitsu in particular. Recently, I've been focusing more on yoga and breathwork - basically just being kinder to my 40-something year old body.

As a child, I loved reading and writing. But somewhere along the way I stopped. WordSmiths has provided a safe space for me to find and share my stories and poems once more. I'm learning a lot from the incredible writers in this group of like-minded and like-hearted souls.
