Writing Like a Parent, Parenting Like a Writer
Writing and parenting have more in common than I ever expected—both messy, uncertain, and full of moments where all you can do is show up and try your best.

Working at an animal shelter means heartbreak and hope in the same breath. It takes everything—and gives back more than you’d expect.
Dear Me (but shorter, younger, with more scabs, and a love of cheese)
A letter to the kid I used to be—and still carry with me.
Whispering Sky
Sometimes the rain doesn’t just fall — it speaks softly, wrapping the world in a calm so deep, even the busiest thoughts pause to listen.
