“I am a wife, a mother, a life-long reader, wanderer, and daydreamer.

“When my two sons were small, I constantly had to remind myself: if I raced through my life, I’d miss it. I wanted time to enjoy my children as children, time to play games on the floor, daydream, and read aloud at bedtime. Writing is still a way to stay in touch with my wiser self, a chance to pause each day and make sure I’m appreciating life as we are living it — right here, right now.”
