As a memoirist and poet, she believes there is great value in writing our stories. They are the woven threads that create us, and when we thoughtfully tug upon the fibers of our past, we unfurl pieces that have shaped us, gifting us insight and perspective.

No one needs to traverse this path alone; we are stronger together!

One of the key components of my writing practice is mindfulness. In my experience, slow activities such as meditation, journaling, yoga, and forest bathing, provide clarity and focus, which enhance my daily life. When I am traveling at a slower pace, I can breathe into the constricted places within my body and mind, encouraging them to soften. I can greet myself exactly where I am, with self-awareness and self-compassion. For me, walking in nature is a living prayer. Taking time to notice the miraculous show through plants, animals and landscapes, is inspiring and humbling. To be surrounded by natural beauty is nourishment for the soul. Reflective and intuitive journaling has helped me to examine and release old stories, liberating me to move with grace and confidence into the next chapter. These rooted practices and rituals of stillness provide me with a sense of belonging and, from there, anything is possible.
