 It was the summer of 2018.

I had just finished writing my second book and was polishing the first half as much as possible so my husband could read it (and love it) while I was away and then give me his unending adoration for writing such a beautifully articulated story.

I left. I saw my family. I came home again.

But my husband did not completely love the first half of my book.

He enjoyed it, but had a few constructive critiques for me. They were good critiques - really good, and only a few. But all I could hear, deep inside, drumming like a mantra was;

I knew I wasn’t good enough. And I was right.

I didn’t touch my book again for an entire year.

    The Blog

    Thoughts about facing fears, pursuing passions and the human condition.

    Hello and welcome!

    The primary focus of this blog is on self-improvement. 

    I spent my youth devouring self-help books and filling journals with words that inspired me. I know without a doubt those journals saved me during the darkest days of my life.
      
    Twenty years later and I'm still writing. I seek things that inspire me and share them here in hopes of inspiring others as well. 

    We are always a work in progress. 

    Thank you for joining me.
