About Me

I am a daughter, a mother, a friend, a teacher, a dancer, a dreamer and there is so much more to discover on my journey back to knowing who I am. This blog is a collection of stories and vignettes about what I’m learning as I rise from the ashes called my Life. It’s my hope that you will find a glimpse of yourself in these stories or perhaps even some wisdom or encouragement that you can share with a friend. “The wound is the place where the Light enters you” -Rumi. I’m here to shed some love and light with you, and in return, I hope that you will share your love and light with me. Namaste.
