Bio
I've used fiction as an escape ever since I developed an imagination, and now I'm sharing pieces of my world with you. I'm a wife, mom, and an awkward introvert who professes her undying love to baristas in the drive through.

Generational Healing
Sometimes I open my mouth and my mother's voice comes out. Although my mother was loving and self-sacrificing, the voice that lingers is the one flavored with frustration. Why? Probably because being on the receiving end of such an interaction left barbed memories, clinging to my subconscious. It seems as if the sweet memories are coated in rich, fragrant oil that glide off, leaving behind nothing more than an aromatic whisper.
