September 21

My second poetry assignment was to write a villanelle or a sonnet. I chose to write a villanelle. Since I cannot seem to turn down any opportunity to speak out about the issues that are...

As a child, I was afraid of pretty much everything. But nothing terrified me more than being alone in the dark. I remember countless nights of begging my parents to let me sleep in...

I Don't Wanna Share

New Year Revolution

A writer is a listener, an observer. Holiday gatherings are a feast of interesting thoughts, ideas, and conversations from which the writer can take away as much as her mind can hold....

I'll Miss This

Favorite Books and Writers: Margaret Atwood and Barbara Kingsolver are my top two favorite writers. Wilkie Collins is also a favorite author of mine. Fear of Flying by Erica Jong changed my life. The Emily novels (Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs, and Emily's Quest) by Lucy Maud Montgomery fueled my imagination and drive as a child. I am also an unapologetic lover of the entire Harry Potter series.

Words I live by: ”You do what you do. Not without consequences for other people, of course, sometimes very grave ones. But it’s not very helpful to regard your choices as a series of right or wrong moves. They don’t define you as much as you define them.” - Ann Packer (The Dive From Clausen's Pier)

I can't live without: Books. Chocolate. Laughter. Coffee. Art. Hugs. Nature.

I am most proud of: My personal growth over the last year.

I am most guilty of: Leaping before I look.

The world would be a better place, if only: We looked out for ourselves a bit less and looked out for others a bit more.

Profession: I am a full-time student at a local college and a writer.

Slogan: “Sometimes you have to break the rules around you to keep the rules within you.” – Martha Beck

About Me: I am a 27 year old dreamer. Even though I've been told many times that I cannot save the world, I am still trying to do just that. Books have been my constant companions since I was old enough to read. I am in love with life and my husband. Most days I am happy in the knowledge that there is no box in which I fit but some days I miss the comfort of rigid definitions. I value integrity, compassion, beauty, and wisdom. I find great joy in every single day I am alive.
