I am an imaginative person who looks for ways to encourage people wherever I can, to show that there is always hope and that beauty can be brought from ashes. The things I write run along those lines and draws its inspiration from many of the experiences in my life journey. I value life as inherent and worth fighting for. In addition to writing I also love to draw people usually in motion or in expression, and my favorite photos of people are not staged, caught in a moment of them being themselves, less than perfect (wind tossed hair) as it expresses something genuine of who they are.
