Family CareGivers are not a side note in the grief story.
We are the leaders holding entire lives together in real time. My work is about giving the language, structure, and tools equal to that responsibility.

It started in a way I didn’t expect. While cleaning out my dad’s things, I came across a list I had written years ago. One of the items said: become a writer. I hadn’t thought about that in a long time. Not long after, an opportunity came up to write for Graceful Living. My first thought was, "I can't do that". But I did.

In my what’s next season…
Protecting My Peace while building a legacy.
Using the skills and talent God gave me through this journey, trusting that this is His provision for more than enough.
