my copy of Creation Magazine with my poem about making my great grandmother's baklava recipe with my mom arrived 💛 #CreationMagazine #Baklava #Poetry

me lately

This month, I was a guest on two podcasts to share my story and promote my upcoming poetic memoir🌟 Can't wait for both episodes to go live this April!! #Poetry #Memoir #Podcast #PodcastGuest

👇👇👇👇

a poem I wrote about my grandpa being an iron worker got accepted into the Labor Edition of "So It Goes," the literary journal of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum🎉 #Poetry #AmWriting #SoItGoes #KurtVonnegutMuseum

shared the baklava poem i wrote for my mom about us making my great grandma's (her grandma's) recipe every year around the holidays. when she read it, she loved it so much she cried and said she is going to frame the poem and with the original handwritten recipe in her house 🥺 #Poetry #AmWriting

thinking about "courage" as my word of focus this year, as I release my debut poetry collection and share my memoir with the world. even if my story resonates deeply with one person, all my work will be worthwhile 🙌🏼😌

Happy New Year from this lovely walking lady 🌟 #DogsOfBluesky

just had a poem i wrote about baking my great grandmothers baklava recipe with my mom accepted into a lit mag🥺 it will be released some time in January!

Yesterday morning I attended my first Wednesday Women💜 and Indianapolis Pavilion event, and I couldn't think of a better way to start my day. The feeling of community and our authentic conversations left me invigorated as the new year approaches! #WednesdayWomen #Pavilion #InspiringWomen

just a gal and her poker face😂 #DogsOfBluesky

Even more so, think about how often women across all workplaces are harassed and the narratives bosses and/or executives spin to "bury" them professionally.

great time with great friends💛

welp, what can i say👀

meditation is cool, but have you ever tried floating? for just a moment you can live in slow motion. #Floating #BodyReset #SlowMotion

Here's a picture of my dog with her ear over her head, like a toupée, that I edited into a vibrant background. Oh, and of course I gave her lime green sunglasses because why not? #DogsOfBlueSky

This is SO TRUE and something so many DON'T UNDERSTAND. As a survivor of trauma, I cannot tell you how many times I was told, "It's in the past, you're fine now" or "You can't keep letting what happened control you." When in those moments it would been more helpful to feel supported and heard.

I am a lover of em dashes😍 #EmDash #Writer #IAmWriting #EmDashesDontMakeMeAI

There will always be people you outgrow, people who don't value you at the same level, and people who are too self absorbed to look outside themselves with empathy. Never apologize for protecting your peace and cultivating a circle of people who want to be there 🙌🏼 #Reflections #Meditations

One thing that always helps me when I don't know what to write about is making lists of things or finishing the statement, "I Remember..." and drawing from the experience. Sometimes I even use meditation to allow my mind and body to reset and refocus. #WritingCommunity #CreativeWriting #Poetry

Writing is like cereal, it's a lot of little things that come together to indulge the senses and create something wondrous 🥣 #CreativeWriting #Writing #PoetryIsDelicious #IAmWriting

We write what we know to process, to understand, and to taste life twice (in the moment and in retrospect). #CreativeWriting #Writing #IAmWriting

There is something inherently special about sitting back and listening to the experiences of others. So much that we can learn from actively leaning in, being curious, and allowing those around us to be heard. #ActiveListening #HumanExperience #Empathy #StayCurious
