Besides writing, I love to create graphics for myself. I love to swim, take walks and hide - waterfalls and forests are my thing. Reading is always on the list I never go anywhere without a book. I read in the car while waiting for my teenage boys at school. IN bank lines and in bed at night - it gives me awesome dreams.

I started writing as a healing journey for myself and readers reason being to connect and leave some inspiration. The other reason is to connect with readers and assist in the process of digesting issues so that they dont feel so lonely in this world.
