I love writing...obviously...but when it comes to telling someone who I am, I tend to freeze. I mean, who am I really? I used to think I could wrap up my entire existence in a few short sentences by describing all the major experiences I've had. That was a huge mistake, which I realized after giving an introduction to a large group of people. Not only did I humiliate myself, I also embarrassed my bosses who were off to the side with a horrified look on their faces...oops! I was deeply humbled, to say the least, and I've been afraid of this question ever since. But to honor the fact that you came to this section for a reason, I will tell you this...
I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work degree in 2018 after years of studying and single-handily raising a child with Autism. I worked in the social services arena a few years, specifically with traumatized children and adults with all kinds of abilities, and then became a Certified Forgiveness and Self-Love Life Coach. I found it difficult to run my own business, so now I currently work with children as a Behavior Therapist. I wasn't joking on the home page...I really am just a girl trying to get it right. I've had some great successes in my life, but what I have to show for it, isn't obvious. Its more of a spiritual nature, I think, and so I keep plugging along hoping that someday I will at least feel like I fit into this world.
I can say that having worn many hats in my adventurous career that I've learned this much…I work hard, really hard, at becoming the best version of myself every day. I strive for perfection, in pretty much everything, but have realized I have to either accept things as they are or make myself crazy, and still never accomplish anything. I am afraid of circumstances I can't control and have learned to surrender my fears, although I can't say that I've mastered it. I try to use my imagination for good instead getting trapped in that "what if" tornado that does nothing but keep me spiraling. I am empathetic to the core, unapologetically honest (hence the truth-slayer nickname), and fiercely protective of the people I love. As far as being a writer, I am still kind of a wanna-be, but I'm okay with that. Hopefully, you are too!
I have a lot of stories inside me screaming their way out. I guess that's what happens when you finally get out of your mind and let your heart take the lead. I've spent most of my life to reach that point, but hey, that's probably why I have so much material to work with!
I've always had a love for writing, but never realized I could develop or use the skill for anything important. I guess I should say, I never thought myself worthy of it.
What I have found, though, is that writing keeps me honest with myself. So, whether I am worthy of being called a writer or not, I'm going to keep doing it. Writing puts me smack dab in the most vulnerable, and most difficult, position I could be in...keeping my heart open. That is the place where magic and miracles live, and I want it to be my home.
That being said, I would like you to consider this site to be an invitation into the heart of my journey. My hope is that you will find something in my writing that sparks an understanding into your own life, giving you the courage to look at your stories with a different lens. When we wake up to our inner knowledge, that place where intuition resides, we can learn to align ourselves with truth and claim the peace that it brings.
This is why I write.
