I taste the magic in your smile, like the whole universe in a single drop.
You are awe.
Or don’t you remember, Dear Friend?
Poetry, short stories, and essays for…
facing your shadows and finding the light within
letting the walls come down
touching life in whatever way you can
For…your beautiful heart.
I write for adults and children. I write about the beauty in the world and the beauty of the heart. Whatever I create is in celebration of love, humanity, connection. And whatever form it takes, it’s always a story about love in the end.
Stand in the light again. (You will be so brilliant.)
There, I Might Find Peace: Poetry and Meditations for Peace, Love, and Strength
These are the words I’ve learned for myself, some the rock-bottom hard way, and the words I wrote down in a book I named, There, I Might Find Peace. They’re the words of transformation from darkness to light, hurting to hope, and frozen to illuminated.
“I would gladly buy this book again. It’s not one I would put on a shelf and forget, but rather to keep close by for those times when one needs a boost of encouragement.”

How to Have Your Back
“This book is amazing. The author has this way of using language that just speaks right to me. Dig in if you’re ready to find strength within yourself that you never knew you had and be guided by someone who GETS it.”
