Nature is my refuge - especially walking in the rain. I'm a gentle soul who loves deep conversations, meaningful connection, and stories that stir the heart. I enjoy reading, journaling, adventures and learning about other cultures. I'm raising my kids with love and intention. English teacher at heart, working now in the non profit sector. My life has had its share of both joy and sorrow, and through it all, I've come to treasure kindness, authenticity and people who aren't afraid to talk about real things.
