My safe place. Your safe place. I promise. I am a writer without intention of any harm or wrongdoing. I lack neutrality when it comes to my causes. Although they are few, they are my own. My mission is to never harm and to hold space for you in whatever way I can because I had to learn so much on this continuous journey through life.

The joy can be absolutely breath taking and emotional as well as gut-wrenching with despair. Two can co-exist.

Read my story. Tell me yours.
