Reading and writing has always been my favorite way to interact with the outside world. I want to share my experiences and the lessons I've learned in life with others. I want to read about YOUR experiences and life lessons, as well.

They say the day you stop learning new things is the day you grow old. I aspire to have a youthful brain right up until the morgue.

I've experienced many things (positive and negative) and I choose to use these experiences and these aspects of my personality as bridges to connect more deeply with people and to create new relationships.

I'm a mother, I've been married and divorced, I've suffered (and sometimes still continue to suffer) from depression and anxiety, I studied literature in school and have a B.A., I'm a licensed optician, I'm in the process of become a licensed notary, I've published here and there, done poetry readings, worked in retail, stayed up all night doing crosswords obsessively, stayed up all night nursing a sick child, stayed up all night drinking with a good friend.

Let's talk about everything.
