My Work
“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” ― Anais Nin
I write to share my experiences with others, but once published, they are scattered across magazine pages - or the internet - and sometimes even become lost. So, I wanted to create a place where I could gather some of my work into a collection of experiences.
