I'm thrilled to have you join me. Substack is such a great place to connect and I thought I would share a bit more about myself.
I'm a writer, a certified herbalist, and a dedicated poet with an unwavering love for the beauty of words. While my creative journey began as a music journalist back in the early 2009, my heart found its true rhythm in the world of poetry.
Life has an uncanny way of nudging us towards unexpected paths. In 2018, I experienced a profound loss—the passing of my dear Dad. Amid grief, I found solace in the written word. Writing became my sanctuary, a place where I could pour out my emotions, find healing, and honor the memory of my father. Since that pivotal moment, my writing has taken on a profound purpose—exploring themes of love and loss, and illuminating the delicate dance between the two.
Through my writing, I've come to believe in the extraordinary power of words—the way they can infuse hope into our darkest hours, casting a warm light that guides us forward.
Some of my favorite things…
Taking long, quiet walks in nature first thing in the morning
Cradling a cup of black coffee ☕️
Creating herbal concoctions in my apothecary
Wandering through a bookstore
Spending quality time with my husband 💖
Obsessing over a compelling book or tv show (my latest guilty pleasure is binge watching What We Do in The Shadows and true crime docuseries)
Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. Here's to embracing the beauty of words, wandering through the landscapes of emotions, and finding solace in the embrace of poetry.
