"The inspiration for my writing comes from my desire to understand the people and the world around me. If we are brave enough to share our narratives - the successes along with the shame - we can deliver ourselves to a place of acceptance and love."

Writing has always been my passion, my childhood dream. During a busy tech career, I always had a nagging feeling I wasn't doing what I really should do. Over the years I would write a page or two a month which left me wanting more.
Two years ago, I quit my technology career to write full-time. Actually, to write part-time if you include a busy house with three children. I wrote many useless pages until I decided to write my mother's memoir. A tragic and beautiful story she shared with me in colorful vignettes throughout my life. What I didn't realize was that the process of sharing her story became a journey of self-discovery. In understanding my mother's life experience, I have come to better understand who I am. This website is my journey, shared with others. My hope is that by sharing my story and the process of publishing my book, I will inspire others to make the connection between who your mother is and who you are. |
CONNECTIONS
Writing requires compassion. Writers not only need to show tenderness for the characters and people they write about but compassion for themselves through the creative process.

FAMILY
I was torn between the career I loved, and the young son who I knew wanted me home more.

CONNECTIONS
There is a saying that in order to live a creative life you have to give up certainty.
