“We tell stories because we can’t help it. We tell stories because they fill the silence death imposes. We tell stories because they save us.” - Madeleine L'Engle in The Rock That is Higher

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to write out what's going on inside of me. When it's time to bring the words and stories to life it's magical. Writing doesn't just make me feel alive; writing actually helps my soul come to life again and again with each thought that I express. Without it, I think I'd wither up and fade away.

I have so many fantastic things in my life - my family, laughter, friendship, traveling, curling up with a good book, bike rides in Fall, Dr. Pepper and Batman.
