about.

This is the beginning. And it is terrifying.

I’ve wanted to write for as long as I can remember.

In 1993 I wrote the classic “The Legon of Miss Warthog” – it was so good a friend and I collaborated the next year to complete the sequel. In my late teens I wrote two short stories about the lessons I learned working at the BK Lounge aka Burger King. I started a blog when I got married – the first time – to document what I thought was soulmate level love and military life. It wasn’t until years after I got divorced – the second time – that I realized it was time to write for real and write for me more than others.

Why now, why online:

At my core, I’m an introvert. I don’t like talking about my problems. They are mine to solve. Instead of talking with others I read, and I research. I send my problems or concerns to the google gods and look for anything that can give me insight from all angles. Maybe others are doing the same thing – and maybe these stories can help.

Or maybe I need to just see it written down so that I can acknowledge my own truth. Cultivate it to create my own peace and then live in such a way to inspire continued freedom.

So what should you expect –

Quotes: I have saved, highlighted, referenced so many different resources throughout the years – especially those that articulated in words the emotions and feelings I couldn’t verbalize myself at the time.
Sarcasm: I can’t live in the serious all of the time. Even the terrible stories will likely have hints of sarcasm and humor – not because the story needs it – but because I do.
Confusion: The stories will be snapshots of life. Not all of them will make sense. They won’t be in chronological order.
Variety: Love. Work. Life. Balance. Personal Growth. So many topics… because life doesn’t happen in neat little boxes.

So I welcome you to explore my wild. And if you see yourself in any piece of them I hope you know that you are not alone.

Live your truth. cultivate peace. inspire freedom.
