What have we here?
Dreams and hopes and thoughts summed up in my writings!
I hope you find something that fills your cup today <3
Here’s the cover for my forthcoming book!!
It’s been an interesting year. In the last 12 months I’ve:
~ Learned to trust myself
~ Come out as bisexual
~ Discovered I have ADHD
( a.k.a. Creative Energetic Curiosity Syndrome)
~ Truly become me…
~ Grown into an adventurer
~ Regained joy
As my son told me somewhere along the way: “It’s like you’re waking up.”
At first I couldn’t understand him. How was I not awake?
When I reflected more deeply, it made a lot of sense.
Come with me on a journey of discovery – publication date is May 1, 2024! Woohoo!
