I've entered a world I know nothing about. It completely brings to life what I learned in yoga teacher training not too long ago. There is so much I don't know. And, although on some days that makes me want to throw my hands up and give up. On most days, I remember that I... Continue Reading →
Summer Reading List
My reading lists are not long because I have been forced to face reality: I am a working mother of two children who is also trying to publish her first book.

Snail’s Pace #AmWriting #Publishing
Becoming a writer has been a life-long dream. And, the thing is, I am a writer. An unpublished writer. Ugh. I've blogged here and at Bookmarks. I've written short stories and a children's novel.
