About

Intention:

Sometimes I take roads to see where they go. I have an inherent sense of direction that gets me to where I am meant to end up, so I’m never worried.

But in life, I keep getting lost and have a hard time finding myself again.

For most of my adult life, I had sunk myself into relationships and jobs that left me unfulfilled. I had chased hollow goals only to check boxes, followed diet and exercise fads to fit images, drank to fit in, and numbed the real me I was afraid to face. Mostly because I’d let myself down.

I dove into self-help books and explored different spiritual paths.

I wrote novel after novel, hoping for a breakthrough that would lead to success, worthiness, and an easier life. I was struggling in life as a single mom – trying to supplement my full-time job with freelance writing. I have so many ideas and was constantly wondering which I should pursue.

But this rambling road was getting me exactly where I needed to go.

Looking back, I had been compiling a beautiful map that led to a mountain of power and contentment, a secret treasure trove, opening a chest of finding the absolute beauty is the essence of who I am and where I am.

I had been piecing together a healthy space that allowed me to grow slowly over the years. I saw it not only in my well-being but also in how happy and healthy my daughter was, how my friendships flourished, and how people around me were positively influenced. How content and calm my soul felt, and how I could tap into a deep sense of being guided within, rather than the chaotic second-guessing and double-mindedness I had struggled with for years. I feel a true sense of abundance and gratitude, even when I didn’t have a lot financially – I knew I would be taken care of and had enough.

Several things helped me, but I haven’t seen them compiled into one place that’s easy to understand. So I created this map back to myself as a letter to people struggling, especially single moms like myself, who feel left behind and secretly doubt they can do it on their own – even though they already are.

This is my reiteration of what I know is true: be brave and follow your dreams because they were put in your heart for a reason. Allow yourself to be guided by the greater force that created the sun, the mountains, the universe, and everything in it. You are full of beauty and love. Uncover it and let it fill your world.
