Personal MemiorÂ
This memoir began with my desire to share hope and encouragement with you and others. It was meant to find its 'hard stop' at the podium of my commencement speech, a symbol of triumph and getting my footing. But as life often does, the rug was pulled out once again upon losing a close loved one within days of announcing the memoir.
​
This story is for anyone who has had to find their footing time and time again. It is about Faith, Hope, and Love, and importantly, it's about the Resilience to keep going when the plan changes. It's a heartfelt invitation to share a journey of endurance and perseverance... and a reminder that even when we are grieving, we are still living a story worth telling. We're not alone. Let's lean on each other, keep growing, and keep going.
​
Thank you for walking this path with me.Â

In Loving-Kindness,
