A little bit about me
Let's Get Acquainted
I am a writer; massage therapist; lover of Jesus; mom of three adult children and a fur baby (who is no longer with us); previous homeschool teacher/mother (and before that an elementary and Spanish teacher); former marathoner, ultra-trail runner, and Ironman competitor; overcomer of chronic Lyme disease; thriving survivor of an abusive relationship; natural heath remedy enthusiast; lover of traveling adventures; and an introverted extrovert!
A wide variety of life experiences and a love of learning are the inspiration for most of my musings. I started out writing creative stories as a young child, and the joy of seeing words come alive on a page eventually evolved into a monthly column for a Phoenix-area newspaper for over 14 years. (A few can still be found at www.ahwatukee.com with a search for my name.) My first novel was published in 2019 with more to come! In the meantime, I hope this blog can serve as an outlet for the thoughts in my head that need someplace to land!
I'd love to hear your comments--what resonates with you, and what causes you to think a little deeper. We can learn so much from each other on this lifelong learning journey!
