I am often influenced by the people we take for granted but do life with daily; the clerk in our grocery store, fitness coach, waitress at our favorite coffee shop. I always enjoy reading stories where the reader can easily identify with a circumstance or situation. I have been a former business owner and have been blessed to have the most wonderful people cross my path. As a result what I know is a single circumstance, moment, experience or person can hijack our life and take it from a familiar existence to one we never could imagine. With that in mind, I am always aware that a defining moment  may be just around the corner.

I write for several blogs. My biggest award has been being married to my best friend and mother to 3 incredible children who allowed me to reach my personal achievement of writing a book I am truly proud to call my own.
