Hi! Welcome to my site!
I’m an author, artist, and adventurer. I am an outdoor girl. I’m more comfortable deep in the woods miles from civilization than I am in town. The writings I share here are thoughts I have about everyday life, of learning to live more joyfully and have more satisfaction. I’m not consistent. I write only when I feel I have something to share. I share them because maybe you are going through something similar and something I say can spark an insight in you. If you want to be notified when I post something new, sign-up below. Thank you for reading!

What would you do if you were Free?
What would you do if you were Free? I like to ask myself this question occasionally. "What would I do if I were free?" Often our minds will come up with all kinds of defenses. "I'm not free, I don't have all the money I need, I have to work." But what I...
Never Be Sorry
Never Be Sorry This was the first recommendation I was told after giving my first speech at Toastmasters. Never Be Sorry, your apology buried what you said after that. How often do you apologize for what you've done or said or just for your presence? Some...
