Frankly, it's difficult to describe myself–I'm a lot of things all at once: a believer, a wife, an educator, a writer, a reader, a cook, and a thinker. I am making a life in southeastern Wisconsin with my sweet husband and a scrappy rescue dog named Dobby. I do not invent my own recipes, but I have gotten pretty decent at following other people's. I do, however, invent my own stories and poetry, and I'm tired of telling myself the fiction that I'll never be good enough to share my words with others.
