I have infused my daily life with writing and writing practice. I fit it in everywhere, whether I’m composing a birthday greeting to a loved one, jotting down an impromptu haiku, emailing a colleague, or working on a blog post, a novel, an essay, or a song.

What I mean to say is: If you want to write, then write. Because if you’re writing, you’re a writer. My wish is to support you in your writing practice, and to be a witness to your progress and a beholder of your art.

As for my credentials, I have a B. S. in Journalism from the School of Mass Communications at Virginia Commonwealth University.  Before becoming a Realtor (my day job), I worked as a freelance writer, reporter, PR assistant and waitress. For years, I served as facilitator for the San Francisco group for Hoffman Process graduates. I regularly lead mindfulness and writing workshops in a variety of settings, including San Francisco Zen Center, Green Gulch Farm, Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, San Francisco YMCA, Shasta Yoga and online.
