Bio
I have always had a passion for writing.
From a very early age I started reading, and gained the love for story telling. I hope to share my joy of stories with everyone that I meet.

The Unrelenting Familiar Stranger
Everyday the same routine, she comes to me at night with the expectation for me to greet her with open arms, scarred and damaged. I can always sense her near me, especially when I'm alone. She tugs and pulls, and I lie in silence waiting to see if I can ignore her enticing poison until she stops.

Between Realities
Disclaimer: It has been 5 years since I wrote this. I had just birthed my son and returned to work. Fast forward to now... It has gotten better. I'm not 100 percent myself but with a lot of work and support from my family I am still on the mend. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

A profound letter to a grandfatherTop Story - September 2022
My grandfather died when I was two. He committed suicide. Before his passing he wrote a letter to me. This is my open letter to him. He often would leave letters around the house for his children and wife would find when he couldn't find the words. I guess my love for writing started with him.
