About Me.
I’m a writer, meditation guide, and storyteller whose work is born of personal alchemization.
After my decades-long marriage ended, I faced a boxing match with depression and Long Covid, and I lost nearly everything — my health, my voice, my light, and my sense of self. Somewhere in the quiet undoing of my old life, though, I began to listen deeply. To feel. To breathe again. From that vulnerable space of renewal, Heart-Stories.org was born—a home for those seeking the joy and loving self they lost along the way. Celebrating the present moment, Heart-Stories.org is a place to reconnect with living from the heart, meaning, and possibility.
My purpose now lives at the intersection of joyful rediscovery through meditation and healing and renewal through community.
Through my guided meditations and blog, I invite you to experience what I have reclaimed for myself: that sometimes, when we feel all is lost, we can rekindle the love, softness, and peace that have been muted within us.
I believe that a single ripple helps heal the world, and in Thich Nhat Hanh’s words: "We are all connected. When you touch one thing, you are touching everything. Whatever we do has an effect on others. Therefore, we must learn to live mindfully to touch the peace inside each of us."
