Hello and welcome. I’m a writer who is especially intrigued by the workings of the human mind and spirit. I love to explore how we develop into the people we are, how we can change (if we want to), and how we can celebrate our lives. Through my writing and speaking, I hope to spark discussion about the pivotal moments and issues that influence us, including those we may hesitate to speak about out loud. In my experience, sharing our real selves rather than our well-honed personas is what enriches—and sometimes even saves—our lives.
