I love sharing personal stories that are full-on real life. It’s the messy, hilarious, invigorating, tear-jerking, hair-tearing tales that assure us of two important truths: we’re not alone, and we’re spiritual beings taking up a speck of space on the planet. My mission is to seize any opportunity to tell stories of bold, spirited, generous humans who are making an impact being true to themselves.
I’ve contributed features and essays to numerous publications, including Fodor’s, The Seattle Times, The New York Post, Seattle Weekly, CAKE&WHISKEY, and the anthology Doing Good for Goodness' Sake. These are a few of my faves.
