A note for you

I so look forward to getting to know you. My aim is to take a closer look at specific experiences and events, ask questions when warranted and seek answers – or at least find some ground of acceptance on which to stand. For me, writing requires quiet reflection and soulful exploration in which I can sift through my thoughts and emotions, sometimes finding clarity and sometimes leading to the discovery that the simple act of jotting thoughts down is cathartic in itself.

When I am in the throes of writing, it carries through to my daily life. Writing grounds me. Writing is where I seek to quiet my mind, even when crafting a piece on the most complex, sensitive or heated topic. Writing is how I heal my heart, no matter how painful the process may be. Writing is where I feel most at home. And writing is where I find happiness, peace and hope. Anger dissipates as situations become more clear. Hurt paves the way for healing as I release my most conflicting and difficult feelings. The honesty is raw, exposing the most fragile parts of myself. Ego just doesn’t exist and only humility remains. My curiosity is heightened and there seems to be an almost innate fascination in even the smallest of wonders. Photographers see the world through a special lens – pun intended – and writers experience the world through stories. When you experience life from this viewpoint, you will find there is a story to be found in everything.

A former personal and professional development coach, my writings are all intended to help you live your best life. Humility, humanity and humor is at the heart of my training.  I’ve coached at the executive level, hosted leadership and personal development workshops for children, teens and adults and worked one-on-one with a variety of individuals to guide them in maximizing their personal and professional potential.  Community service is very important to me and I’ve volunteered to teach social skills in group homes and facilities over the years, served in food kitchens, participated in charity events as well as support our military and Veterans through various organizations.  

I’m passionate about making a difference in helping men, women and children become the best version of themselves.  

Here’s to creating our stories and working together to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
