A wise man once said, 'Don't argue with a stupid person because they will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.'
I’ve lived decades. Not one life, but many. Sharing lessons hidden inside my mistakes.
Join me to read and discuss my earlier poems, stories, essays (including published pieces & their early drafts), but also my memoir-in-progress and all the ways I've been making art (photos, prints, a podcast and a few surprises).
I write reflections, lived experiences, and lessons drawn from my life, and share human stories that inspire connection and discovery.
