Yes, a writer’s life is filled with doubt. And gratification is usually long coming. I think this is why even though I feel called to write, my passion is with fiber art where there is less doubt and gratification comes faster. Either creative venue still both fuels and feeds my soul, and I guess that is what guides us toward purpose.
Welcome! I am a lawyer turned freelance writer, essayist, and editor. On staff at Literary Mama and the co-founder and co-editor of the literary journal, The Sunlight Press, my essays and reported work have appeared in The Washington Post, The Lily, Saveur, Civil Eats, Brain, Child, ESPN and elsewhere. I am currently at work on a memoir on grief and culture and how it provides perspective on life’s ordinary graces. I invite you to appreciate the ordinary with me. I hope my daily practice of seeing the magic in the mundane helps you celebrate and find more of these moments in your life too. Read More
