Born a Southern California girl now living life on the beautiful Coastal Carolina shoreline. I have worked as a writer, photographer, educator, and much more. Mother of two; BahBah (grandmother) of five; married for nearly all my life - a relationship currently complicated; living with a rare brain disorder, and a victim of childhood and spiritual abuse. The biggest love of my life is my family. They are my soul. I am strong, positive, and a survivor. My life stories range from beautiful to surprising to tragic to ugly. All of them are the fabric that has created me. I wouldn't change a thing because it is that which makes me ME!
