Thinking Out Loud

I am not a professional writer, but somehow I find writing incredibly therapeutic.

I witnessed the power of sharing personal stories when I turned my journal into my very first publication, Just the Two of Us, some years ago. I have since put together a collection of easily relatable real-life stories, people I've crossed paths with, random thoughts, a-ha moments, and lessons life has taught me.

I hope you will find at least one story, if not more, resonates with you or gives you a good chuckle.
