about

Stories are so important to the human experience.  Through them we can learn to connect with others, with our environments, with our histories, and with our own ambitions and emotions.  Sometimes the most complex struggles can be best understood or at least validated by the simplest story.

As we live and love and strive and struggle and hurt and succeed, we tell our stories through our words, our work, our journals, our social media posts, our song lyrics, our screenplays, our pictures, our tears.  Sometimes we even tell them through our silence.

This blog is my attempt to tell some of my stories to whomever would like to read them.  I hope to offer encouragement and humor and thoughtful reflection through my writing, and I am challenging myself to make writing a regular habit (because it is a neglected love of mine).  Someday all that will be known of us are the stories that made up our lives, and I choose to be the author of some of mine.

Thanks for reading!
