I’ve been struggling with some tough personal issues lately, and I’m so grateful for my friends and the people who care about me, for being there to help or just listen when I needed it most. This poem is for them, and everyone who feels like I do.

I've never really liked labels, I am this, I am that. But in the interest of introducing myself, I can say that I am many things: nurse, writer, photographer, poet, painter, gardener, friend, armchair philosopher, counselor, nature lover, home makeover aficionado, movie buff, practicing yogi, and aspiring world traveler. I think that's a pretty good list for now. I want to become a bigger part of the vital, creative force I feel deeply at work in the world and connect with other people who want to do the same.
