Went for a hike in the woods yesterday to escape the relentless heat. Stopped by to see my majestic friend.

It reminded me to keep looking for small moments of light when the world is dark. Hope this helps you too.

View from my morning hike.

A gentle reminder:
Stop scrolling and get outside for a walk. You won’t regret it. 😉

A series of storms rolled through yesterday. This photo was taken after the last one, on a walk.

It’s a gentle reminder: everything is temporary. The sun will shine again.

Keep going. ✍️

Thank you so much!

A little late, but I’m proud to share my personal essay that was published a few weeks ago for @thecut.com.

Thanks to my wonderful editor for letting me share my story and to my mentors for your guidance.

I appreciate you reading.

Good Morning! Locking myself in the quiet room of the library to knock out a new draft with zero distractions.

Wishing you a productive day of writing ahead. ✍️

Today, as women, we rise:
Above the darkness.
Above the noise.
Above the hate.
Above the fear.

Every day, we unite.
We are stronger together.

Even at 3 am, grief doesn’t let go. It sits like a heavy weight pressing down on your chest, making you gasp to catch your breath.

Good Morning. ❄️

The kids are outside playing in the snow and I’m going to squeeze in a brief yoga session and finish some draft edits.

Happy Wednesday, friends.
