HI!

When I was a kid, I loved to read as many books as I could carry home from the library. And I still do!

I grew up on a small farm in Kansas. Now I live in a suburb tucked between the city and country. My husband, son, daughter, and fluffy dog make life more fun.

I’m a first-generation college grad with an oh-so-impractical degree in philosophy. Yet I’m grateful for that training, which helped me be a creative and curious thinker who asks the big (and little) questions.

MY WRITING…

TOOLS: colorful pens, bright white paper

FUEL: dark chocolate and lots of tea

TIPS: slow down, pay attention, be amazed

INSPIRATION: long walks and short naps

DISTRACTIONS: sunshine and shallow TV

SOUNDTRACK: Willie Nelson, Ellie Holcomb
