Writing has brought me a long way. Writing, mentors, and self love have changed me for the best. I still have a lot of work to do. It’s still pretty hard for me to choose myself and me time over family/home time. Even just once a week I struggle to take myself out for myself.Continue reading “Write with Me”

Moments
There’s is nothing in the world that fills my heart more than seeing my family laughing and playing together. Those impromptu dance sessions in the kitchen make me feel like I’m in a bubble away from all the chaos going on in the world.

Adventure Calls
I’ll just do it. I’ll just write and see where it leads. “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.”― Andre Gide
The Library
